Chapter 1 Oath (Five Seconds)

The reason why Chief of Staff Wu Tianci instigated the independent battalion to annex the guerrillas was to accumulate capital for himself to rise in the future, rather than having any blood hatred with the Eighth Route Army that could not be resolved. Therefore, when he found that doing so might not be worth the loss, and even if he might even lose his life, all the passion in his heart immediately disappeared, and replaced by being cautious, cautious and cautious.

He hung his own self-defense congee matte and gun holster on his belt, reached out to pick up most of the potatoes that had been blown by the wind, and while catching it next to the brazier and smoked it again, he asked with a kindness: "I have actually heard people talk about the story of Fatty Zhang sniping the traitor Zhu Er before, but it is not as detailed as you said today. In this way, his marksmanship is really extraordinary. I guess our battalion commander may not be as good as him."

"Of course, our boss once admitted it personally. If we talk about marksmanship, he would only be convinced by two people in his life, one is Master Long and the other is Fatty Zhang." Although the orderly Xiao Wang did not understand the intention of Wu Tianci saying these words, he also knew that the other party would not go to the temporary camp of the guerrillas at least today. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief and nodded with a forced smile.

"There's still this." Wu Tianci pretended to be very surprised, and his eyes suddenly widened. "I thought our battalion commander would never admire others. By the way, you just said that Fatty Zhang shot the second leader of the white-bearded man in front of the two armies. What was going on? Are you there at that time? Can you tell me the details?"

"That happened last autumn. At that time, I was just working as a young follower for Master Jiu." As long as I was not going to do anything bad to the guerrillas, Xiao Wang, the orderly officer, didn't mind answering more questions from the Chief of Staff. Even though these questions obviously had traces of useful intelligence, "The Red Team, our battalion commander, Brother Long and others, were worried that there were many people under Baibei's command, so he decided to go to the enemy camp first."

His eloquence was far from being enough, but in front of Wu Tianci, the more he spoke, the more he seemed more realistic and credible. Listen, Wu Tianci felt his spine start to get cold again, and a cold sweat flowed down the ends of his hair, moistening the collar of the white shirt in a blink of an eye.

First, he used his strong attack power to destroy his spirit, and then went to the meeting alone to destroy his morale. Then he showed off a poisonous gas bomb to mess up his inch. Finally, he took advantage of the fire among the Whitebeard team and pushed the strongest horse thief on the Dongmeng grassland into the abyss that would never be restored. All the strategies were linked together, and one move was more fierce than another. These were not the two bullets of Fatty Zhang who had established a magical skill. Even without him appearing at that time, the Whitebearded Bandits could not become a salted fish that turned over. The difference was only the speed of collapse. The Redbeard, Blackbeard, Zhao Tianlong and others played the most useful role in it. In fact, they were not as eye-catching as Zhang Songling.

In the eyes of those who like to play with conspiracies, conspiracies are everywhere. The more I know the past of Red Beard, Black Beard, Zhao Tianlong and others, Wu Tianci feels more worried. These are not a bunch of earthy leopards who have never seen anything in the world. They are clearly a group of old wolves who have become sperm, and they all eat people and don’t spit bones! What’s funny is that I just wanted to take advantage of the wolf king’s carelessness to exchange for money. I was so lucky that I was stopped by Xiao Wang in time and had no chance to really go out to summon people. Otherwise, I would not have to use Zhang Songling and Zhao Tianlong to chase him, and my body would have been lying on an unknown place on the grassland.

He raised his hand and rubbed his forehead against his sweaty Jinjin. He continued to ask Xiao Wang about the information he would be useful in the future, "Well, what happened to them join forces to break through the Hei Shi Village? I remember that the city walls of Hei Shi Village were made of large stones, and our independent camp did not have artillery at that time."

"That was the case at that time." Xiao Wang, the serviceman, thought about it and continued to answer patiently, "The Japanese devils and the puppet army went to attack the guerrilla camps, and the old, weak, sick and disabled people stayed in the city, and the stationmaster Peng of the Military Affairs Bureau"

One of them listened with sincerity, and the other was willing to talk, chat, and unknowingly forgot the time. At noon that day, the convoy stopped by a saltwater lake in the desert to beat the ball. After a simple lunch, they continued to chase the large army. In the evening, they camped on a Gobi Desert near the entrance to the desert. They got up early the next day, braved the wind and snow, and finally caught up with the team of Zhou Heichang and others when the next evening came.

The dark clouds above my head had dissipated at some point, and the sun shone over from the horizon to the west, illuminating the world behind the snow with bright red and purple, particularly enchanting.

The sky is blue and the ground is white. Between the open blue and the flat white, there are sandy figures. Each figure looks extremely small between this pure world. At the same time, each figure looks extremely friendly between this lonely world. They are rare living creatures in the snowy land, and their every move falls on this pure white land, becoming a scenery in the eyes of others, either wonderful, ordinary, gorgeous, plain, clean, or dirty, real, without any obstruction. The snow will completely leave every step they have taken, neither deliberately decorated nor deliberately shrinking, just like a silent history in the dark.

Wu Tianci had no intention of appreciating the rare snowy scenery in his pass. He had just moved with the help of Xiao Wang, the muscles and bones that had become stiff due to long-term rides. He rushed towards the command tent of the independent battalion in three steps, and his breathing sound was even more urgent than the bellows in the blacksmith shop.

"Battleman Commander Zhou, I figured it out," he shouted loudly before the curtain was lifted by the sentry on duty, fearing that someone around would not realize his appearance.

"Staff Officer Wu, you're here so quickly." Zhou Heitan was stunned for a moment, interrupting with a little unexpected surprise, "Come in quickly, come in quickly and roast the fire. I thought you would have to catch up with the team in the middle of the night, but I didn't expect your carriage to go so fast."

"I'm so anxious." Wu Tianci patted his chest with his hand and responded very exaggeratedly, "Have the guerrilla brothers already fought with Huang Huzi? I suggest that our independent battalion must not stand idly by and support the guerrillas with all their strength."

"Sit down and say, sit down and say, you'll pant evenly first. This battle is still early to fight." Unexpectedly, after only two days of not seeing each other, the chief of staff changed and sentenced them to two. Zhou Heichang was obviously a little uncomfortable. He pulled Wu Tianci's arm and forced him into the seat prepared for the officers. He intentionally or unintentionally interrupted his head in half again.

"Then, then I'll be relieved." Wu Tianci continued to pat his chest, and then, his eyes, which were not big, turned into two light bulbs. "Why haven't you started to fight yet? Hasn't this place entered the territory of Lamagou long ago? Didn't the Yellow Beard send out a single external mobile whistle?"

"I was sent, and I was so scared that I retreated back to Qilin Ridge, which is the original old battalion of the guerrillas." Yang Sankai, who was originally the tenth seat of the Black Wolf Gang, but now the commander of the Third Company of the Independent Battalion, responded in a muffled voice, "Even the few small troops he placed on the periphery to guard the old battalion, all ran back to the mountain. Now, except for Qilin Ridge, there are no enemies around. I will wait until tomorrow morning to recover my strength and attack the mountain forcibly."

"How could this happen?" Wu Tianci's big set of speeches prepared in advance fell into nothing. He stared at his two small eyes and muttered blankly, but soon, he realized the problem. His nose and upper lip twitched, and his throat felt bitter.

He was deceived and was deceived again. He tried every means to trap Red Beard. Unexpectedly, he was deceived by the old fox again, saying that he was to let the independent battalion watch the battle and not to interfere in the battle between the guerrillas and the Yellow Beard bandit gang. The agreement reached by the two privately, Huang Beard himself might know that when he saw the guerrillas and the Independent Battalion drove towards him one after another. With his hands that had just recovered less than 30% of his strength at his heyday, how could he have the courage to disperse his troops and wait in the wild to serve as an appetizer for the coalition forces of the guerrillas and the Independent Battalion.

This is called taking advantage of the situation. Before you know it, you are upright and upright, so that the person who is borrowed can't say anything at all. Finally, he saw through the red beard's magical stroke. Wu Tianci was so impressed that he wanted to find a place to cry. The old fox, the old fox who was fried three times in the oil pan, has been fried all over his body. Since you have this ability, why don't you show it earlier? Is it very satisfying to deliberately pretend to be stupid and fool a few younger generations to play?

However, Wu Tianci was already in trouble, but he couldn't find a phone to destroy it. Moreover, what he was most anxious about now was not to continue dealing with Red Beard, but how to remedy the relationship between himself and Zhou Heicang. His eyes quickly swept the tent. He saw Red Beard, who closed his eyes and rested as if an old monk had entered a meditation. He quickly threw other distracting thoughts in his stomach behind his head, and gently gave him a loud voice for the third time: "Battery Commander, colleagues, Senior Wang of the Guerrillas, I suddenly thought it through in the carriage. Is this a fight for the country? I shouldn't have divided your affairs? My affairs, who will help whom, and it's our business for all of us. Instead of letting him refuse to defend and fight with the guerrillas, it's better for our two families to join forces and confuse him all at once to avoid unnecessary losses."

"This" Zhou Heikang frowned, and his expression on his face was very hesitant. Before Wu Tianci arrived, he had reached a preliminary consensus with Red Beard on how to attack the mountain tomorrow morning. Now he was being stumbled by later generations. Whether it was out of kindness or falsehood, it made people feel uncomfortable.

However, Red Beard was calm about any changes outside. He slowly raised his eyelids, glanced at Wu Tianci with a dim gaze, nodded, and said with a smile: "Why, why did Staff Wu want the two companies to join forces again? I remember the night before yesterday, didn't you still want our guerrillas to prove their strength?"

"Drunk words are all drunken words. I am a person with a shallow alcohol tolerance. If you don't drink it, you will be very high when you drink it. If you don't believe it, just ask Commander Zhou and other brothers. They all know that I, Mr. Wu, don't count after drinking, so I never compete with me." Wu Tianci waved his hands repeatedly, whispering to defend his arrogant behavior in the beginning and respectful way, and asked Zhou Heicang for help with his eyes.

For Zhou Heichang, it is better to keep such a lively chief of staff to fight for food and salary for the independent camp than to abandon him and replace him with another person. Of course, the premise is that this person cannot always think about fighting for power with him and no longer publicly sing a contradictory tune with him. Therefore, when Wu Tianci's special performance tonight, he frowned slightly and smiled and agreed: "Yes, Mr. Hong, he is such a fool. Don't be as good as him. To be honest, the superior sent him to our independent camp just to facilitate contact, and did not ask him to participate too much in the decision-making in the camp."

"Yes, yes, I'm a newcomer and I know little about the situation. I shouldn't have talked too much. The day before yesterday, I really drank high, so I shouted a few words. After sobering up, I regretted it. So I let the carriage chase it all the way, just to make up for the mistakes I made after drinking." Even though I knew that Zhou Heicang was taking the opportunity to collect his power, Wu Tianci could only knock down his teeth and swallow it in his stomach. For him at this moment, it would be better to have a chance to surrender than to die in a mess. Otherwise, if he was shot one day, would he have sacrificed his life for his country in the battle or was killed by the remnants of bandits, Zhou Heicang would have to report it to the top.

"I didn't plan to take it seriously," Red Beard blinked gently, with a bit of naughty eyes. "If you take it seriously, I'll turn against you long ago. Why do you come with you to watch the enemy's plunder for your brothers, but"

He slowly stretched out the voice, and he continued with a smile: "You should also take a closer look at the terrain of Qilin Ridge. It's just a road up the mountain. Even if our two families are pressing on each other at the same time, they can finally line up a few people. Isn't the result the same?"

"This" Zhou Heitan scratched his scalp and smiled awkwardly. He was just urging to wipe Wu Tianci's butt, but forgot that the terrain around the old guerrilla camp was very special. The Lama Valley, as a whole, is a huge natural collapse, but there is a unique scenery inside the deep pit. Among them, the terrain of Qilin Ridge is the most bizarre. It looks plain from a distance. When you walk closer, you will find that it is a high mountain that rises up from the narrow mountain path. No matter how many people are invested, you have to line up and take your time. As long as the defensive side has two machine guns installed at the key points, it is enough to seal the road up the mountain without leaking.

"We can draw elite troops from the independent battalion, form a small team with the elite troops of the guerrillas, and open the way for everyone." After all, he was a military academy after a few days. Wu Tianci did not hinder the problem raised by Red Beard. Soon, he came up with a suitable solution.

"Yes, we can't just let the guerrillas fight to the death. Let's go together and bear the losses." Lao Tzu and Lao Tzu, the leaders of the Black Wolf Gang, also rolled up their arms and sleeves, vowing to be together with the guerrillas when they have difficulties.
