This time, Chen Gang made up his mind to win a big victory and boost the morale of the 13th Division. Chen Gang's biggest problem was that he had too strong a sense of vanity, so he wanted to show off in front of other troops. If this battle really made him famous and allowed him to become a national hero admired by 400 million compatriots, Chen Gang could say that he would have no regrets for the rest of his life.
Therefore, Chen Gang's requirements for the troops were extremely strict, and he absolutely did not allow any mistakes. To ensure that nothing went wrong, Chen Gang ordered an engineering battalion to be responsible for scouting ahead and checking where the troops could hide during the day. If a hiding place was found to be far away, Chen Gang would order the troops to speed up and try to reach the hiding place before dawn.
If the hiding place was near, Chen Gang would rather order the troops to rest early, even if it meant wasting some time, as long as they could hide well. As the saying goes, "There is no difficult task in the world, only people who are afraid of difficulty." If you really put your mind to doing something, you can definitely do it well.
This time, Chen Gang made up his mind that no matter what, he would hide the troops well and then deal a fatal blow to the enemy.
Chen Gang also went through repeated deliberation and careful analysis, not allowing even the slightest mistake. Therefore, this time the 13th Division was hidden extremely well. As soon as day broke, they would immediately hide in the pre-scouted locations. The enemy's reconnaissance planes were almost always flying overhead, but still failed to discover the 13th Division's whereabouts.
The ancients said that traveling a hundred miles is half done at ninety miles, meaning that the last ten miles are the most difficult to traverse. As one approaches the final critical moment, people tend to become complacent and careless, making it easier to make mistakes. Thus, the last ten miles are the most arduous and perilous, and also the key to success or failure in the entire event. Even a slight oversight that seems insignificant could lead to the failure of the entire operation.
Therefore, Chen Gang dared not be even slightly complacent, and was cautious and meticulous in every matter. The ancients said that "a careful sailor can sail for ten thousand years." It was precisely because Chen Gang was extremely cautious that the Japanese army did not suspect a thing. Despite this, Chen Gang still had some worries.
The Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment took the western route, and He Gang and Jiang Zhifei were even more cautious, not daring to be careless. Because they hid very well, the little devils didn't discover them either. The Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment was about to approach Qingzhou, with a distance of over 80 miles left. Jiang Zhifei couldn't help but feel anxious and said: "He Gang, we're only 70-80 miles away from Qingzhou. If our cavalry rushes like crazy, we can arrive in at most 40 minutes. Why don't we speed up?" He Gang looked at the sky and said: "Jiang Zhifei, I don't want to rush. Look, it's almost dawn. If we march hastily during the day, it's easy for the little devils to discover us." Jiang Zhifei said: "We're so close to Qingzhou now, even if the little devils find out, what can they do? We shouldn't hide and sneak around anymore. Let's hurry up!" He Gang nodded and said: "Alright, but we still can't be careless." Jiang Zhifei nodded in agreement, and everyone continued on their way. Before long, daybreak arrived, and a large mountain blocked their path ahead. Xu Bin said: "Commander, Political Commissar, I'll go scout the terrain ahead. You wait here for a moment." Jiang Zhifei nodded, and Xu Bin rode off on his horse. Not long after, Xu Bin returned and said: "Commander, Political Commissar, there's a mountain valley in the southwest direction. We can pass through there." He Gang said: "Good! Let's speed up immediately!" Everyone quickly galloped towards the mountain valley ahead.
Everyone saw that they were about to approach the valley, He Gang said; Everyone stop advancing, Jiang Zhi Fei said; What's wrong with He Gang? He Gang said; Let me observe the terrain carefully. Jiang Zhi Fei nodded and said; Okay. He Gang took out his binoculars and observed the terrain carefully. After a close look, he couldn't help but take a cold breath. In front of him, on both sides of the valley, were two large mountains with steep and easy-to-defend terrain, making it difficult to attack. The dense forests on both sides made it an ideal place for ambushes.
He Gang handed the binoculars to Jiang Zhi Fei, who also carefully observed the terrain. Jiang Zhi Fei was shocked and said; This terrain is almost identical to Heifeng Valley! Not only is it steep and easy to defend, but the dense forests on both sides make it an ideal place for hiding. If tens of thousands of soldiers were hidden on both sides, we would have a hard time discovering them. Moreover, this valley is very long. If the Japanese army ambushes us from both sides, once we approach the valley, they will open fire with all their light and heavy machine guns, forming a dense and intersecting web of firepower. At that time, we won't even have a place to hide, and we'll become live targets for the enemy. Although we have over 1,500 people, it won't take more than two hours before we're all buried in this valley.
Gao Fei Xue said: "What to do, we can't just waste time here, right?" Gao Fei Hua said: "If there aren't any little devils hiding in this valley, then isn't it a waste of time for us to be here?" Xu Bin said: "I'll go take a look first." He Guang said: "Xu Bin, come back!" Xu Bin had no choice but to return. Jiang Zhi Fei said: "He Guang, right now we're in a difficult situation. If we rashly go in, we might fall into the little devils' ambush. But if we don't go in, we'll waste time and miss our chance." Gao Fei Long said: "I'll take a dozen or so brothers to go up the mountain and take a look." Jiang Zhi Fei said: "No way, that will take too long." Gao Fei Long said: "What else can we do?" He Guang said: "Let me think for a moment." Gao Fei Long impatiently said: "Ahh, you're really troublesome. Can't we just go up the mountain and take a look first?" Gao Fei Hua said: "Big brother, you don't understand. Haven't you seen He Guang thinking about the problem?" He Guang suddenly had an idea and a smile appeared on his face. Jiang Zhi Fei saw He Guang's expression and knew that he had already come up with a plan. He Guang said: "Qi Tian Zhu, use your rifle to fire a shot in the direction of the valley." Qi Tian Zhu asked confusedly: "He Guang, what am I shooting at?" He Guang smiled and said: "You're not shooting at anything, just fire a random shot in the direction of the valley." Qi Tian Zhu was even more confused and said: "Okay..." Qi Tian Zhu raised his rifle and fired two shots in the direction of the valley. The crisp sound of the rifle echoed throughout the valley. He Guang's eyes were fixed on the valley, not saying a word.
He Gang carefully looked towards the valley and after a long time, he exclaimed: "Wow, Yamamoto Kōichi is really formidable! He actually thought of setting up an ambush here. If our Flying Tiger Cavalry were to enter this valley, we would be dead without a burial site!" Jiang Zhi Fei was shocked and said: "What? You mean the little devils have already set up an ambush here and are just waiting for us to rush into their guns?" He Gang nodded and said: "That's right." Jiang Zhi Fei asked: "How did you know there was an ambush in this valley?" He Gang replied: "Qitianzhu fired two shots towards the valley, what did you see?" Jiang Zhi Fei said: "I didn't see anything!" He Gang said: "Exactly! That's the point." Jiang Zhi Fei asked puzzled: "What do you mean by that?" He Gang asked again: "What season is it now?" Jiang Zhi Fei replied: "It's almost noon." He Gang said: "Right, I'll ask you again. The mountains on both sides of this valley are high and densely forested, shouldn't there be many birds nesting there?" Jiang Zhi Fei said: "Yes, that should be the case." He Gang said: "What did you see earlier?" Gao Feilong impatiently said: "Earlier, not to mention what Master Brother saw, none of us saw anything!" He Gang said: "Can't this explain a problem? You all think carefully about it." Jiang Zhi Fei suddenly enlightened and said: "I understand now!" Gao Xue also impatiently asked: "Master Brother, what do you understand?"
Jiang Zhi said: "The mountains on both sides of the valley must be inhabited by many birds. When the birds hear the gunfire, they will surely fly away in fright. But just now, Qi Tianzhu fired two shots towards the valley, and we didn't even see a bird's shadow. What does this imply?" Gao Feihua said: "Big brother, you mean to say that the little devils have already set up an ambush on the mountains on both sides of the valley, and the birds have also been frightened away in advance, so we can't see anything." He Gang said: "That's right. It's precisely this logic." Gao Feilong said: "My goodness! Luckily I didn't enter the valley, or else we would have really gotten into trouble!" Gao Feihua said: "Big brother, that's why you must never be too rash in the future, or you'll suffer a great loss." Jiang Zhi said: "Then what should we do? If we don't go in, we'll miss our chance to attack. But if we do go in, we'll get caught by the little devils. This is a dilemma - whether to advance or retreat. What's the best course of action?" He Gang thought for a moment and said: "Alright, Gao Feihua, you take three battalions and stay here to monitor the little devils' every move. Remember not to enter the valley under any circumstances. Also, have your men patrol back and forth in front of the valley. The rest of us will follow me to find another route. This way, we'll be absolutely safe."
Gao Fei Hua said: "He Gang, I asked you, why do our three battalions have to keep moving back and forth in front of the mountain valley?" Jiang Zhi Fei smiled and said: "He Gang's intention is to let you lead the three battalions to set up a decoy formation here, making the little devils think that it's our entire Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment hesitating and wandering around in front of the mountain valley. This way, the little devils will send a telegram to Yamamoto, and when Yamamoto receives the telegram, he'll think that our Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment is still wandering around in front of the mountain valley. Then, Yamamoto won't have any worries about his rear, and this will give us an excellent opportunity for a surprise attack." Gao Fei Hua said: "I see, so that's it. Okay, I understand now." He Gang said: "Fei Hua, you must remember not to enter the valley. Also, since the little devils want to annihilate our Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment, they won't easily come out to attack you either. Even if they do come out to attack you, it will take them some time to get down from the mountain. Your warhorses can run much faster than the little devils' two legs, so you are extremely safe." Gao Fei Hua nodded, and He Gang said: "The others will follow me. Like this, Gao Fei Hua led the three battalions to move back and forth in front of the mountain valley like a merry-go-round. The others followed He Gang, who let the Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment turn around and walk back. After walking for about ten miles, they saw an old man carrying a bundle of firewood on his back. He Gang quickly spurred his horse and came to the old man's side. The old man was so scared that he immediately knelt down in front of He Gang. He Gang hastily dismounted and helped the old man up, saying: "Old man, don't be afraid. We are the Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment. Is there another road on this mountain that we can take?"
The old man looked up and carefully examined He Gang, saying: "You are really the Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment." He Gang nodded and said: "Yes, I am the political commissar of the Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment. The mountain valley ahead has been blocked by the devils, we can't get through. Is there another way to pass?" The old man said: "There is a way, but it's very difficult and dangerous." He Gang said: "It doesn't matter as long as we can pass."
The old man immediately threw aside his firewood and said: "Really, you are the political commissar of the Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment?" He Gang nodded and said: "Yes, I am He Gang." The old man grasped He Gang's hand excitedly and said: "Commissar He, if you are really here to fight against the devils, I can lead the way for you."
He Gang said: "Thank you, old man." The old man said: "But the road ahead is very narrow, you can't all ride horses past. You must all walk and lead your horses one by one. If not, you may fall off the cliff." He Gang said: "Don't worry about it, old man. We have to get through no matter what."
Jiang Zhi Fei shouted loudly: "Alright, brothers! Let's dismount and lead our horses!" Everyone got off their horses and followed the old man, who led the way ahead. Before long, the road became increasingly narrow and difficult to walk on. The old man said: "You must be careful! Below is a steep cliff. If you fall, you will be smashed to pieces."
He Gang quickly said: "Brothers, be careful! Don't rush! Let's go slowly!" To ensure safety, He Gang ordered everyone to hold onto each other and lead their horses one step at a time. Just then, someone let out a blood-curdling scream as a cavalry soldier fell off the cliff along with his horse.
He Gang had just turned around to salute in the direction of the cliff, Jiang Zhi said: "Everyone, don't panic, we must walk slowly, step by step, and tread carefully." He Gang said: "Brothers, I'm deeply saddened by the loss of our comrade who fell off the cliff earlier. But we can't afford to grieve now, we have to keep moving forward to fight against the enemy at the front line. Let's not be sad anymore, everyone wipe away your tears and continue walking." Everyone heard this and couldn't help but sob, but they still had to keep moving forward. The mountain road became increasingly steep and difficult to walk, and two cavalry soldiers fell off the cliff along with their horses. This section of the road was filled with hardship and danger, and one could easily fall off the cliff if they weren't careful. However, despite this, everyone continued to move forward bravely. After walking for nearly four hours, they finally exited the treacherous path. The old man said: "He Zhengwei, from now on, the road ahead will be much easier, you can ride your horses straight east, and in about 60 miles, you'll reach Qingzhou City."
