    The local mountain elders quickly explained to the officers of the 3rd Mountain Division that you did not leak the secret. When you attacked Gunnon, one of our mountain boys happened to be in Gunnon City. He heard that you spoke in Yunnan dialect, so he thought you must be.  The Han army is here to rescue the Wa and Dai people this time.  This mountain kid ran back from Gunong last night and ran all the way to the cave where we were hiding in the mountains. We have been waiting for you for a long time.

    Liu Bin said in disbelief: "Can your mountain boy run so fast?"

    The elder immediately said proudly: "Although this kid has no father or mother since he was a child, he can run for a whole day as long as he eats a little food. He grew up eating a lot of food, and his life is both cheap and hard. Lao Zai, come here."

    A boy who was a little over one and a half meters tall, with a big head and a thin body, came over timidly. He was dark, with a flat nose, a big mouth, and a pair of small but bright eyes.

    "He is Lao Zai, that's what he told everyone. Lao Zai was picked up by everyone in the river. He has no name or surname. Because he was picked up from the river, everyone named him Lao Zai. He grew up in Bagong Village  , but all the people in Bagong Village were killed by the British a month ago, and he was the only one who escaped by running fast." The elder introduced.

    Speaking of the destruction of Bagong Village, Lao Zai lowered his head and started to cry. Although Lao Zai, who was raised by people in the village since childhood, did not live a good life, the village is his home, old lady, old lady.  Because the fathers were unwilling to leave Bagong Village, the British put them in a bamboo hut and burned them to death.

    Liu Bin sighed and said, "Don't worry, we will avenge this revenge." He looked at Lao Zai again and asked, "Are you running fast?"

    "Yeah." Laozai nodded.  "No one can outrun me."

    Liu Bin asked: "Do you only have the name Laozai?"

    "Everyone calls me Laozai." Laozai said.

    "Do you want to be a soldier?"

    "What does it mean to be a soldier?"

    "Being a soldier means following me and fighting the British with me. You can eat well and wear new clothes, but you have to listen to me." Liu Bin said.

    Lao Zai immediately shouted: "As long as I beat the British, I am willing to do anything."

    Liu Bin laughed and said: "Okay, you will follow me from now on and be my orderly first. You have no name or surname - let this Laozai be your nickname. If you want a big name, you are Yunnan  My surname is Yun. Our unit is the Seventh Army of the Phoenix Legion, so how about you call me Yun Fengqi?"

    "Yun Feng Qi?" Laozai muttered, "Yun Feng QiOkay, my name is Yun Feng Qi! I have a name, my name is Yun Feng Qi! My name is Yun Feng Qi!"

    "Why don't you give your nickname to Lao Zai? Lao Zai Lao Zai always makes people think that you were picked up without a father or a mother. I will give you a nickname. Your nickname will be Xiao Qi."  Liu Bin patted his shoulder and said, then took out the dagger he was carrying and called to him, "Give you a weapon. When you defeat the British and officially join the army, I will give you a gun."

    "Yeah." Yun Fengqi said excitedly.

    After passing Shangjiajia, we headed down Jiajia.  We arrived at Fabao at nine o'clock that night. Fabao was 20 kilometers away, but local villagers said that there were hundreds of Baotou British soldiers (Indians) stationed in Manglai Village, which was five kilometers away from Fabao.  Liu Bin immediately ordered the third battalion to rest, and then sent a squad of soldiers, led by villagers, to Manglai Village to investigate.  Yun Fengqi immediately said that our Bagong Village is near Manglai Village and I am familiar with it.  I'll take you there.  Liu Bin saw that he was eager to perform meritorious service, and after giving some instructions, he found two more villagers, a total of fourteen people, to investigate Manglai Village.

    The scouts soon learned that those stationed in Mang Lai were British baggage troops. The British troops were placed in Ban Hong to confront the first part of the 3rd Mountain Division, and the baggage troops were placed fifteen kilometers away from Ban Hong.  Manglai Village.

    The large army then arrived at Fabao Village, and after the investigation, Liu Bin immediately reported to Xiao Yaonan. Xiao Yaonan asked if there were hundreds of Indian soldiers. Liu Bin said that based on the soldiers' investigation and the number of tents, there should be at least 500 there.  .

    Xiao Yaonan thought for a while and said with a wry smile: "Five hundred Indian soldiers are difficult to deal with. According to the intelligence, Manglai Village is only fifteen kilometers away from Ban Hong. Once a fight starts here, Ban Hong will definitely find out. So if we want to fight, it must be  The first part and the second part launched a general attack together.¡±

    It seems that catching a turtle in a urn is not that easy.

    "To capture Manglai Village by surprise and then march quickly, it is best to partially bypass Manglai Village. We have many people. More than 4,000 people do not have to be blocked by this small place." Hong Linge, leader of the 257th Regiment  It is recommended to say.

    "Yes." Wang Changhai, leader of the 258th Regiment, said, "I asked Liu Bin to come over and see how he is communicating with the locals."

    When he learned that the superiors were going to bypass Manglai Village, Liu Bin was at a loss. He had never thought of bypassing Manglai Village.Then he called Yun Fengqi.  Of course, Xiao Qi couldn't understand official titles. He just felt that these people should have a higher status than the village leader. As for how high they were, he, a little guy, couldn't understand.  Liu Bin asked him if there was a way that bypassed Manglai and went directly to Banhong. Xiaoqi immediately said, "Yes, take the mountain road. I'm afraid you can't do it."

    Xiao Yaonan and others laughed and said: "We mountain divisions are still afraid of walking on mountain roads? What we are least afraid of is mountain roads. If we take mountain roads, how long will it take to get to Banhong from here?"

    "A day's walk." Hong Linger asked.

    "We're taking the main road, it takes half a day." Yun Fengqi said.

    Xiao Yaonan and others looked at each other, is this still a small road?  It turns out this path is not a shortcut.

    Yun Fengqi said: "I told you that we are walking on a mountain road. If you need to cross mountains and ridges, it is normal to walk for a day. If you encounter someone with bad legs and feet, you have to walk for a day and a night."

    "Do it!" Xiao Yaonan said, "Have a good rest tonight, tomorrow Captain Hong."

    "Arrived." Honglinge said.

    Xiao Yaonan said: "Tomorrow you will stay with the 1st and 2nd Battalions, and your regiment's radio station will be left with you, waiting for the order to launch an attack on Mang Lai's British Army. Tomorrow I will take the 258th Regiment and the 3rd Battalion of your regiment along the mountain road  Bypass and pounce directly on Ban Hong. Commander Wang, do you understand?"

    Wang Changhai immediately said: "I understand the seat."

    "Okay, the 257th Regiment will arrange for personnel to stand guard while the others rest." Xiao Yaonan said.

    Before going to bed, Xiao Yaonan sent a final telegram to Li Shucheng, the commander of the 3rd Mountain Division, saying that he had finally reached 20 kilometers behind the British, but encountered a British baggage warehouse on the road, and he was preparing to fight again.  Divided into two groups, one part stayed to annihilate the enemy's baggage store, and the other part bypassed the baggage store and followed the path to the back of Ban Hong. It is estimated that they will arrive tomorrow night.  Our general attack time is set at twelve o'clock tomorrow night, and we will take advantage of the chaos to launch a general attack on the British. The British will inevitably be locked together after being frightened.

    Li Shucheng immediately called back and said that our department was gearing up and waiting for an order.

    Early the next morning, more than 2,600 people from four battalions led by Xiao Yaonan, led by Yun Fengqi, began to enter the forest. Every soldier was required to unload their bullets to prevent them from shooting and alerting snakes when encountering danger. Soldiers were asked to  We must meet danger with bayonet.  Of course, the biggest danger you encounter when walking in the forest is venomous snakes. Fortunately, this path avoids places where venomous snakes are found, but the mosquitoes in the mountains get up early.

    Everyone immediately took out insect repellent and smeared it on their bodies, but there were always places that were not smeared and were still attacked by mosquitoes.  At noon, we rested on the mountain, ate some compressed biscuits, and drank some water we brought.  Xiao Yaonan called Yun Fengqi to ask what was going on with the child. Liu Bin explained everything in detail. After hearing this, Xiao Yaonan laughed and said: "You can survive even being thrown into a stream. You kid is born with a tough life."  Ah, if someone like you is not a soldier, who can be a soldier?"

    Yun Fengqi scratched her head and giggled after hearing this.

    Xiao Yaonan said: "When you go back, I will vouch for you and accept you as a soldier under special circumstances."

    "Thank you, uncle." Yun Fengqi immediately knelt down and kowtowed in gratitude, making everyone laugh.

    What frightened the few Shanxi soldiers on the road was that they actually encountered a group of monkeys. They mistook them for savages and were so frightened that they stabbed their bayonets and tried to fight, but they were stopped by the Yunnan soldiers.  After some introduction, several northern soldiers who had never seen monkeys were very interested in monkeys and kept saying that they were really interesting.

    But the Yunnan soldiers couldn't laugh or cry and said, "It would be bad if your family grows crops nearby. Monkeys like these in Akita will come to pick fruits. These monkeys are smart and pick out people's places to steal crops. Everyone is annoyed to death."

    At four o'clock in the afternoon, Xiao Yaonan's troops finally arrived at Ban Hong. However, what made them depressed was that they actually came to the mountain behind Ban Hong's mine. If they wanted to attack the British, they had to start from a seven-foot-high mountain more than twenty meters high.  Sliding down a ten-degree slope.  Everyone looked at it and felt that the angle was too dangerous and it was impossible to slide down. The slope of more than 20 meters was filled with rocks and mud. If someone accidentally rolled down, he would fall to his death.  They were simply mountain masters, and they all carried ten-meter-long ropes. It would be safer to tie three ropes together and tie them to a tree before sliding down the ropes.

    Down the slope is the silver mine, and some British people are monitoring the work of the workers. These workers are all captured young people from the local Wa, Dai and Han ethnic groups.

    Everyone decided to take a break and wait for the arrival of twelve o'clock in the evening.

    Everyone was careful not to make any noise, and they didn¡¯t even dare to snore while sleeping. Finally, at eleven forty, Xiao Yaonan looked at his watch and nodded to everyone to start.  Suddenly, ropes were thrown down the mountain, and the 3rd Mountain Division, the favorite of Du Baosan, commander of the 7th Army Group of the National Defense Forces, took action. They jumped out from behind the British from the cliff halfway up the mountainside.??.

    At twelve o'clock, all the 258th regiment came down the mountain. Xiao Yaonan shouted: "Kill the British guys for me!" The soldiers rushed towards the British camp like tigers.

    "Kill!" At the foot of Banshan Mountain, Li Shucheng's 259th Regiment and 260th Regiment began to attack the British.

    "Kill!" The first and second battalions of the 257th Regiment, which had surrounded Manglai Village in the afternoon, began to attack the British heavy troops.

    "Kill!" In the Banhong mining area, Xiao Yaonan's troops launched a surprise attack on the British.
