Chapter 35 Qianzhang Cliff

Qianzhang Cliff is located at the edge of the Xing'an Mountains about 18 miles east of Nanlu Town. Qianzhang Cliff is less than twenty miles away from Shuangtao Town in the neighboring town. Shuangtao Town is the territory of Tangyuan County, and Nanlu Town is also the territory of Yili City (county-level city). The county road connecting the two counties and cities passes hundreds of meters in front of Qianzhang Cliff. If a heavy machine gun is placed on Qianzhang Cliff, then the county road can be completely blocked with fire.

Throughout the dynasties, Qianzhang Cliff has been full of bandits, all because it was originally located on the edge of the Xing'an Mountains and was also a three-way area where the two counties and cities intersect. Of course, from another perspective, this is another strategic location. In addition, Qianzhang Cliff is cliffs on both sides of the east and west sides. It is close to the county road in the south, and the back is the hinterland connecting the Xing'an Mountains. It can be said that it can attack and retreat and defend, which is a place that military strategists must fight for.

Under the leadership of Zhou Xiong and his party, Wang Yue and others set out along the county road from Nanlu Town, heading straight to Qianzhang Cliff, and then went up from Qianzhang Cliff to the south. Although the hillside along the way was not steep, there were many strange rocks and towering trees. There were three levels along the mountain road.

The three levels are basically located in a dangerous place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. According to Zhou Xiong, Qianzhang Cliff has never been attacked and climbed up the mountain. Every time the mountain changes ownership, it is caused by internal strife. Just like Zhou Xiong was forced down the mountain last time, it can be seen that Qianzhang Cliff is dangerous.

"This thousand-square cliff should not be as high as a thousand feet, right?" Wang Yue really couldn't estimate how high this mountain was, but he felt that it should not be as high as a thousand feet. You should know that the entire Xing'an Mountains do not have a thousand feet high peak, not to mention that the Qianzhang Cliff is not the highest peak of the Xing'an Mountains.

"Haha, battalion commander, it's not that high, but only two or three hundred feet away. And because of the huge mountain, this mountain road is probably six or seven miles away from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain." Zhou Xiong said with a smile.

"No wonder it can accommodate thousands of people, but I have always been confused. Thousands of you live in the mountains. Let's not talk about what you eat, how can you solve this water?" Wang Yue asked. The water that thousands of people drink, domestic water, bath water, etc. are not a small amount. The daily consumption is at least counted in tons.

"This problem is actually not difficult to solve. The water I drink is basically mountain springs. There are several large mountain springs on the mountainside, so there is definitely no problem for thousands of people to drink."

"As for domestic water, if it doesn't rain for a long time in summer, it may be a bit lacking. But if it rains for ten or half a month, you basically don't have to worry, because we have dug large reservoirs from many places such as the top of the mountain to the side of the mountain, so it's enough to save some time for a month without raining."

"If it's winter, you don't have to think about it at all. After all, our Gada starts to fall in tens of months, and the snow turns into water. Although it's not delicious, it's not a big problem to wash your face and take a bath." Zhou Xiong explained with a smile.

"Oh, so that's it."

Without the experience of the mountain, I naturally don’t understand these principles. Zhou Xiong originally thought that Wang Yue knew astronomy and geography. Unexpectedly, there were things he didn’t understand. His psychology suddenly felt that he was much more balanced. In fact, the reason for this kind of mentality was that after a few days of short contact, Wang Yue gave Zhou Xiong too much shock.

There are endless new things, incredible so-called advanced technology, and of course Wang Yue’s extensive knowledge. These are not the most important ones. After all, Zhou Xiong was a warrior and a rough man, but Zhou Xiong had not encountered an enemy for many years, but he was not Wang Yue’s one-union enemy. This is where the bandit was truly conquered.

In fact, Wang Yue came to Qianzhang Cliff this time for three main purposes:

First, the issue of the Eighteenth Route Bandits, which has been mentioned before, so I won’t say much more.

The second is to see if Qianzhang Cliff is really the strategic location as Li Maoeng and Zhou Xiong said. Li Maoeng and Zhou Xiong's opinion is to retain the Qianzhang Cliff base, which may be of great use in the future, so Wang Yue came to inspect it himself.

The third point is that once you really plan to keep it, Wang Yue hopes to find or build a mountain road, which can enter the depths of the Xing'an Mountains from the north of Qianzhang Cliff, and then directly connect these two places through a shortcut together with the Yalu Mountain Base. In fact, the last time the mountain road that Wang Yue and others rushed back could be used as a backup for some mountain road sections.

The first goal is to wait until tomorrow to act according to the opportunity, and what is finally solved is indeed unknown.

However, after investigation along the way, Wang Yue had already determined that the Qianzhangya base would be retained. Then the next step was to send people to find a mountain road connecting the Yalu Mountain base from the depths of the Xing'an Mountains, and send people to repair and widen it. It would be best to be able to do it. Of course, this matter is still planned for a long time.

Because the sky was getting darker, I only made a short stop along the way, so I rode up again. A group of more than 30 riders arrived at the top of Qianzhang Cliff when it was getting dark.

On the top of the thousand-foot cliff, the terrain is gentle and wide, and there is a training ground with a radius of dozens of meters in the middle. However, it can be seen that there are traces of artificial excavation. On the edge of the cliff on the east and west sides, under towering trees, rows of houses are hidden in it.

Most of the walls of the house are made of stone, and of course there are many wooden houses. At first glance, you can see one of the particularly grand and spacious buildings located in the center on the east side. The three big words "Juyi Hall" are written on the beams. There is no doubt that this should be the place where bandits gather.

"Wow, it smells so good." As soon as he saw the big words in Juyi Hall, Wang Yue asked about the smell of barbecue floating out of the hall.

"Haha, brothers, I know the battalion commander is coming, so I naturally want to celebrate. Unfortunately, we can't drink a lot today, haha." Zhou Xiong returned to his home court and finally stopped being so restrained, especially when he smelled the aroma of wine and meat, he felt even more heroic.

"The boss."

"The boss is back."

"We're ready for the wine and meat."

"Wow, are your clothes in the army of the advance army? They are so grand?"

"Tsk, what do you know? This is called a camouflage uniform, which can play a hidden role. Battalion Commander Wang said, this is a combat training uniform, so be proud."

"Can we all wear this in the future? Camouflage uniform?"

"Of course, we are also regular soldiers now, and we have military pay. Brother Li came back and said the day before yesterday. Don't you know?"

"I heard that, I heard that, isn't this a little suspicious?"

"The one walking beside our boss should be Battalion Commander Wang. He is so strong. It is said that the boss is no match for him."

"Tsk tsk."

...

After entering the top of the mountain, people gathered over and said hello, but what attracted them the most was the dress of the group. After the reorganization was over, Zhou Xiong also received a set of camouflage uniforms for the brothers of the third company. These subordinates, including Zhou Xiong, had long been envious of them. They changed them all as soon as they finished receiving them, which caused more than 30 people in camouflage uniforms to come. This momentum of course made the brothers who stayed on the mountain look at it.

However, Wang Yue was still very satisfied when he heard their discussion. Obviously, Zhou Xiong had already made public statements to these brothers since he planned to surrender. After contacting Wang Yue, Zhou Xiong should have conveyed Wang Yue Chengruo's treatment and military discipline issues as soon as possible, which shows that Zhou Xiong should still be very reliable in doing things.

After entering the Juyi Hall, Wang Yue saw that the hall was filled with tables, and the wine and meat on the table were all over the table, and the bonfire was lit in the hall, and large pieces of meat were piled up from the bonfire. The strong fragrance and crackling sound kept popping out of the meat.

Wang Yue was pushed to the first seat by Zhou Xiong, and Zhou Xiong was at his right hand. After everyone sat down, Zhou Xiong stood up and said aloud: "I won't say much about polite words. Since everyone has stayed, it means that we are still a family. Now I ask Battalion Commander Wang to give you a lecture."

Zhou Xiong was simply, without a single word of extra words, and directly pushed Wang Yue out. However, Wang Yue still liked this simple and non-verbose style. After Wang Yue stood up, he picked up a bowl of wine and said more simply: "Everyone raises his glasses, and after drinking this bowl of wine, everyone will be brothers of life and death in the future."

...

Although Wang Yue's alcohol tolerance has improved significantly after one month of training, he faced the siege of many new brothers, Wang Yue was soon defeated. If there were any important things tomorrow, no one would have to drink too much, and I'm afraid Wang Yue would have to get drunk again.

However, after a fight of wine and meat, Wang Yue easily got into a fight with these bandits. Wang Yue did not refuse the matter of playing rock-scissors and punishment of wine, or even a martial arts competition to cheer up. After all, it would be impossible to not have enough strength to think about it. Wang Yue felt glad, but fortunately he exchanged his primary fighting skills in time. Otherwise, it would be really not easy to subdue these bandits.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, everyone ended, leaving only a group of backbone and the special forces team members brought by Wang Yue, reconfirm the assignment of tomorrow's tasks and arrangements, etc. It took another half an hour to leave.

"Brother Zhou, don't always call me battalion commander in the future. Just call me Rufeng directly." Wang Yue still felt that Zhou Xiong was not friendly enough, so he persuaded him.

"That's not OK. Although I, Old Zhou, is a rude man, but I don't have rules, I still understand it. Of course, like now, we are here, I just call you a peak, haha." Zhou Xiong is a real person and a person with a heart.

"Hey, let it be, but Brother Zhou, I may kill a few bandits tomorrow to kill the chicken to warn the monkey. If it makes it difficult for you to do then, I hope you can understand it." Wang Yue said.

Wang Yue had to say hello in advance. After all, most of the people who can give Zhou Xiong face should have some friendship with Zhou Xiong. Although most of the friendship may be verbally, they were invited by Zhou Xiong's name of re-pairing Qianzhang Cliff. Logically, Zhou Xiong should ensure the safety of the participants, which is the rule.

"Don't worry, Rufeng, although I, Zhou Xiong, are not stupid, what should I do? Just let go. Since I, Zhou Xiong, chose to follow you, of course, you will obey your fate. Besides, we are also trying to fight the Japanese devils. If those bastards don't know how to advance or retreat, then they will be responsible for their own fault and deserve it." Zhou Xiong said firmly.

"Haha, it seems that I'm too concerned."
