Chapter 67 Chapter 63 The Road to Death

Company Commander Mu suddenly became Deputy Company Commander Mu, and he felt a little uncomfortable. Fortunately, the brothers didn't take this subword to heart at all. In war, I am not as good as Mu Liangfeng, all this is only temporary.Mu Liangfeng has the final say on the company. In the afternoon, Chief of Staff Wu of the regiment headquartered in person brought several large boxes of things to the company headquarters with the guards, and distributed a new military uniform, a pair of thick Northeast leather shoes, and the salary owed last month to everyone in the company. Plus bonus.The new uniforms have been replaced with brand new collar badges, and their ranks have been upgraded by one rank. Meng Zi and Xiao Wu's second lieutenant collar badges have been replaced with lieutenant ones, but Mu Liangfeng is still a second lieutenant's collar badge.

Chief of Staff Wu handed a set of new military uniforms to Mu Liangfeng and said, "Mu Liangfeng, this time there are two more lieutenants in the company, but you don't have one. Do you know why?" When Mu Liangfeng saw that his position had been demoted and his rank had not been promoted, he felt very wronged. He looked at Chief of Staff Wu and shook his head pretendingly. "Chief of Staff, our company commander gave us all the credit. Why didn't our company commander get promoted instead?" The soldiers asked why. Chief of Staff Wu was also in a dilemma. Originally, he pestered Commander Liu to get Mu Liangfeng's lieutenant's collar badge, but the commander disagreed, saying that if he was cold for a while, let him reflect on it.Now the soldiers are complaining about their company, he doesn't know how to say it.

"The army has a clear rule that an ordinary second lieutenant must have served in the rank of second lieutenant for more than one year before he is eligible to be replaced with this new collar badge. Meng Zi and Xiao Wu are veterans for several years, so they are eligible for general promotion. But Mu Lian's deputy has only been around for less than a year, so we have to wait." Chief of Staff Wu's explanation seemed reasonable, but the soldiers didn't buy it.Mu Liangfeng cared about the honor of the soldiers, but when he saw the chief of staff's embarrassment, he gave everyone a look and said, "The army has its own regulations, and I have no objection, so don't talk too much." The soldier accepted it. Voice.

Chief of Staff Wu read out the commendation order and distributed the military salary and bonus of 5,000 yuan to everyone.Because the bonus is for the whole company, the soldiers share it equally.Excluding the soldiers who died in battle, there were 200 people in the company, each of whom received a bonus of 16 yuan. Everyone was very happy when they got the money, and shouted to go to drink.Mu Liangfeng gave everyone a three-day holiday to move around freely. As soon as Chief of Staff Wu left, the soldiers rushed out the door with a coaxing sound. "Stop!" Mu Liangfeng glared. The soldiers stopped again: "What orders does the company commander have?"

"The head of the regiment has strictly ordered you not to disturb the people or fight, otherwise you will be severely punished. You can hear me clearly." Mu Liangfeng said: "I may have to go out for a few days, you all be honest, whoever makes trouble for me, Don't hang around with me." The soldiers knew the seriousness of the matter. Their disturbance two days ago made the company commander lose his official title, and no one dared to do it again. "Company commander, don't worry! We don't dare to cause trouble anymore." "Where are you going, Captain?"

Mu Liangfeng thought of his old regiment leader, his life and death were still uncertain, and he wanted to go to Liuzhou Army Hospital to see his old boss because there was still some time.Once Mengzi and Xiao Wu heard that Mu Liangfeng was going to Liuzhou, they also wanted to follow. Mu Liangfeng laughed loudly: "Wang Dachuan, you are the acting company commander now, and I have no official position, so I can go with Xiao Wu, but you can't." Mengzi said: "You are too unkind, aren't you? When something happens, I will be the company commander." "No way! You are the acting company commander personally appointed by the head of the regiment, so you have to worry about the daily work of the company."

Xiao Wu also wanted to follow, so he didn't dare to offend Mu Liangfeng, so he helped him speak: "Commander Wang, Deputy Mu Lian and I will return as soon as we go, and we will definitely bring your heart to Captain Zhang." hands. "What?" Mengzi stared. "Heart! It's fine if you don't go to the people, but you still want the heart." Xiao Wu asked for money cheekily. Mengzi became anxious: "If I don't go, everyone is not allowed to go. Since I am the company commander, I am sorry, and now I order you two to agree with me to go." Mu Liangfeng worked patiently for him. There were only a few officers in the company, and they all ran away. If something happened, who would lead the troops.After talking about it for a long time, Mengzi stayed with the most heartless, took out a few dollars from his bag and handed them to them: "My heart, buy something for me to see the head of the group."

Xiao Wu took it without hesitation. Mu Liangfeng said: "The two of us will go to the regiment headquarters to ask for leave now." On the wall of the regiment headquarters is a map of China drawn by the Japanese in 1924. Head Liu is looking at the map in a daze.Mu Liangfeng and Xiao Wu knocked on the door and came in: "Report!" Head Liu came back to his senses: "What are you two doing here? Come in!" "Sir, the two of us would like to ask for a few days off." Mu Liangfeng said loudly, with a businesslike manner. "Ask for leave? Why do you ask for leave?"

"Reporting to the group leader, let's ask for leave to go to Liuzhou to see our group leader." "Your regiment leader? Isn't your regiment leader me?" Mu Liangfeng said loudly again: "We are going to visit Liuzhou Army Hospital to visit the head of the 204th Regiment, Zhang Zhiming, our old head." Head Liu heard it. This kid deliberately emphasized his old head, obviously to express his dissatisfaction with him.He laughed loudly: "Approved, you go! But I have something to say first, go early and return early, don't cause trouble for me."

"Yes! Thank you, group seat." "Wait!" Head Liu said as he dug out a bottle of honey from the cabinet and handed it to Mu Liangfeng: "Give this to Head Zhang and say hello for me." "On behalf of our old group leader, I would like to thank the group seat." "Haha, I'll give you three days off. It just so happens that the transportation company has a few cars going to Liuzhou in the evening, so you can take that car!" Head Liu scolded with a smile. The brothers of the transportation company knew Mu Liangfeng and the others, and when they saw that Mu Liangfeng and Xiao Wu were going to take their ride, they all laughed like they picked up treasures, and handed them cigarettes and tea.

"Let's take your ride, so we don't have to be so beautiful!" Xiao Wu was a little puzzled. The guy from the transportation company said: "With the two of you escorting us, we can drive with more peace of mind." Mu Liangfeng said: "Going to Liuzhou is not going to Nanning, what are you afraid of?" "Of course I'm afraid! This little devil bombs planes during the day, and from time to time at night he sends a small group of troops to sneak up on the side of the road. We drove in fear. Last week, a truckload of seriously wounded people transported to Liuzhou was ambushed by devils on the road. More than 20 Band of Brothers drivers were all killed." "The devil even killed the wounded soldiers?" "Yes! Kill them all. When our troops arrive, there will be no sign of the devil." Mu Liangfeng was stunned. He didn't expect the devils to be so arrogant that they would reach out to the territory of the Chinese army.He comforted the brothers and said, "It's okay, there's nothing we can do about the planes bombing us. Xiao Wu and I will help you clean up some little devils." The transportation company said: "Then thank you two officers. With you two here, we can drive much more safely. Let's have dinner in our company." Mu Liangfeng and Xiao Wu had dinner at the transportation company, got in the car and set off on the road.There are three large vehicles in this row, a total of four drivers, and a security squad of 12 people in charge of escorting, who are going to Liuzhou to collect military supplies.Including Mu Liangfeng and Xiao Wu, there are 18 people in total.Because the Japanese planes bombed heavily along the road during the day, everyone liked to drive at night.But it's not safe at night. There are small groups of devils ambushing in the woods on both sides of the mountain road from time to time, and you have to be careful of the landmines buried by devil engineers in the middle of the road. It was almost dusk, the mountains stretched for thousands of miles in the setting sun of winter, and the sky was gray.In the dense forests on both sides of the mountain road, the mountains are full of pines, firs, moso bamboos and some miscellaneous trees that cannot be named. They undulate and sway in the slight mountain wind, rolling up a billowing black wave, which looks strange and mysterious. Liuzhou is a big city, this is what the skinny driver sitting next to Mu Liangfeng repeated three times.Mu Liangfeng has been to Wuhan and knows what a big city is, even though the Wuhan he saw is devastated and fragmented. The skinny driver may have been too dull to drive, but today he finally had a good audience, so he talked endlessly.He said that he used to drive for a certain division commander, because once he saw the division commander making love with his little wife in the car, he couldn't help laughing and was assigned to the transport company. The plane chased his car and blew it up. He drove the car into the woods and escaped unharmed... Mu Liangfeng was holding his sniper rifle, squinting his eyes like he was asleep, because he was afraid of landmines on the road, so the three cars didn't drive fast, and Mu Liangfeng sat in the front car.The driver's driving skills may not be blown, the mountain road is bumpy, but the car is driving relatively smoothly, although the mouth keeps talking, but the eyes are fixed on the road ahead. There was a chill in the jungle after the rain, the skinny driver tightened his military uniform, and handed Mu Liangfeng a cigarette in his busy schedule: "Sir, have a cigarette!" Mu Liangfeng took the cigarette and lit it for the driver. "Don't worry, this section of the road is relatively safe, and it will take another hour or so to reach Xiaoguiling, which is the real danger," the driver said. Mu Liangfeng hummed: "What is Xiaoguiling?" "Little Ghost Ridge was called by the brothers of our transportation company. The mountains there are not high, but basically all the accidents happened in that area, so we were very careful when we got there." "So evil?" "Yes!" The driver took a puff of cigarette: "Sir, you have to help me when I get there. I have to watch the road while driving, so please pay more attention to the situation on both sides." Mu Liangfeng nodded: "Don't worry about driving your car!" Then he fell asleep with his eyes squinted. After an unknown amount of time, the driver shook him and said, "Sir, we've arrived at Xiaoguiling." Mu Liangfeng was shocked immediately. Wake up and load your sniper rifle. "Sir, have you shot and killed many people?" The skinny driver started nagging again, and Mu Liangfeng became annoyed: "You monkey talk too much, please be quiet." "Haha, how do you know my name is a monkey?" It seems that Mu Liangfeng hit the right spot.Fortunately, the skinny driver kept his mouth shut.Mu Liangfeng looked at the mountains on both sides. The strange peaks are abrupt and dangerous, and there is a dense forest next to it. The mountain road has seven turns and eight turns. It is an excellent terrain for ambushes. No wonder the devils frequently choose this place to attack. But the strange thing is that after the so-called Xiaogui Ridge was finished, the devil did not appear.Mu Liangfeng glared at the skinny driver, thinking that this kid made a big fuss and made a false alarm. The skinny driver didn't explain.Suddenly, he slammed on the brakes, and the car stopped with a squeak. "Sir, get out of the car, there is a ghost." Mu Liangfeng immediately picked up his sniper rifle and jumped out of the car, and burrowed into the nearby grass on the spot. The thin man also ran down and lay beside him.Seeing the situation ahead, the cars behind also jumped to the side of the road. "What's the situation?" Mu Liangfeng asked the skinny driver. "Mine!" "How do you know there are landmines?" "Everyone, pay attention to the front and see if there are any abnormalities?" Mu Liangfeng and the others took a closer look at the road under the light of the car's headlights, but found nothing unusual. The skinny driver said, "It has just rained, and the road is wet. There are tire marks after the car drove past, and there is a spot in the middle. The tire marks are broken by more than a foot. It is obvious that someone has moved them." "Is it possible that they are ordinary people?" "It can't be ordinary people. There are no villages around here. Besides, even if there are ordinary people, what is he doing on the road?" As he spoke, he bent down and touched three meters in front of the car, and carefully pushed aside the piece of what he called Sure enough, a black mine appeared in front of my eyes. "Did you see the devil's 'Type 3' anti-tank mine?" Since there was a mine, it meant that there must be devils nearby. "Be careful! Come back quickly." Mu Liangfeng called out to the skinny driver. At this moment, a bullet flew past the boy's ear and hit the grass in front of Qi Muliangfeng. The shot scared the skinny man half to death, and he ran back after rolling and crawling. The security squad escorting the convoy was obviously very experienced. As soon as they rushed into the grass, they scattered in all directions. The only machine gun in the squad was pointed at the front vigilantly, and everyone held their breath.The incident happened suddenly, Mu Liangfeng didn't see the specific location where the bullet came from, but he deduced that the devil was lying in ambush on the right side of the car based on the fact that the bullet first passed the thin driver and then hit the grass in front of him.He looked at Xiao Wu, and this guy's rifle was aiming at the direction he guessed. "Sir, we have a magic weapon." The skinny driver said calmly. "What magic weapon?" "Sir, wait a moment." The skinny driver walked to the cab of the car, lowered his head and took out a car light bulb from near the accelerator. A long wire behind the light bulb was connected to the car engine.The skinny driver took the light bulb and touched it down: "Sir, this is my searchlight." "This is also called a searchlight? What's the use of this?" "Look for devils! Let me tell you! There are not many devils who often lay ambushes here, and sometimes there are fewer people than us, so I made this thing. When I meet devils at night, I use this to find them." Mu Liangfeng looked around, there was nothing but darkness, it was basically impossible to see clearly the enemies hiding in the jungle.He called Xiao Wu, and Xiao Wu understood immediately. "Monkey, when I count one, two, three, turn on the light and shine it on your right front. But you are holding a light bulb, be careful, don't let the devils use it as a target." The skinny driver nicknamed Monkey made a sound, and slowly moved to the side of the car, and lifted a light bulb over the body, facing the right front position. Mu Liangfeng picked up the gun and barked three times in a row. The monkey immediately turned on the "search light" he invented. The light was extremely bright and had a long range, illuminating the area 200 meters ahead as if it were daylight.
