Commander Lei saw that the entire group of people was trapped in this cramped valley and could not move forward or retreat. In addition, everyone in the whole group was panicked. Although he was also afraid and uneasy, he still pretended to be calm and ordered the current commander of the Forward Battalion, he said, "Send a few brothers to the water to try it to see if he can cross the river."

"The troop, when the brothers in the company broke the bridge just now, dozens of people fell into the river, but in the blink of an eye, they were washed away by the water. Due to the terrain, the water flowed hard, and the guns, ammunition and food on their brothers were carrying, so it was very difficult to get through after getting into the water. Besides, it has passed the frost and the river water on the back of the mountain is cold, and if it is not good after getting into the water, it will cramp." The battalion commander was very embarrassed.

"Damn it, I can't stay stuck in this place and go back and forth, can't I wait for death?" Captain Lei cursed with his cow's eyes.

"All the rations can last for about 10 days, and there are 4 or 5 villages of all sizes nearby. Why not settle in these villages for the time being, and then send brothers to travel up and down the river to detect and see if we can find a place with shallow water and slow flow, or climb up the cliff and go back to report to the hike and ask for help from the hike." The adjutant suggested on the side.

"Oh... I can only do this. What's the matter with this!" Chief Lei sighed and agreed unwillingly.

After scattering the entire regiment of people in 4 or 5 uninhabited villages on the way, Commander Lei arranged for personnel to start looking for a way out in the valley. At the same time, he secretly thanked that fortunately, these villages were not burned when he came, otherwise there would be no place for the entire regiment to shelter from the wind. Although the houses in these 4 or 5 villages were a little small and they could not live in more than 2,000 people in his regiment, at least his regiment headquarters, battalions and some company headquarters could still live in. As for the other soldiers, let them find a way.

At night, the sky started to fall again in the sky, which made the whole group feel uneasy. At night, listening to the howls of wolf from the distance and the sounds of nearby rivers rushing, most of the people in the whole group did not sleep well.

The next day, Commander Lei was having breakfast with great thoughts, and the battalion commanders stationed in several nearby villages ran in one after another.

"The ranks, it's not good. More than 40 brothers have disappeared from our battalion." A battalion commander reported in panic.

"The group seat, our camp has been missing for more than 50 years."

"The group seats, our camp is better, and it's been missing for more than 20 years."

"Have you found out the reason? These 100 living people will never disappear out of thin air, right?" Captain Lei asked angrily.

"The ranks really disappeared out of thin air." A battalion commander explained, "Because there are so many brothers in the village, we arranged for some people to use the thatch in the mountains and branches to build shacks for temporary accommodation. It rained last night, and most of the brothers did not sleep well. When they got up and counted it, they found that dozens of people from the outer company were missing. But last night, no abnormal sound was heard, and there were no traces found around the camp today. Those missing brothers seemed to have disappeared out of thin air."

"They always leave some footprints or something, right? Where are their guns, ammunition and food they carry?" Commander Lei asked in disbelief.

"Or why do they disappear out of thin air? They even lost people, guns, ammunition and food. Moreover, there were no more people, and they didn't even leave half of their footprints." The battalion commander, who lost the most, said in a panic expression and incredible face.

"Damn it, I'm rushing to some great master? It's really unfavorable for the passing of years!" Commander Lei began to feel sad after hearing what the battalion commander said, but he was still cursing and forcing his face.

"I asked you to find out the way yesterday, are there any results?" Commander Lei asked about the task assigned yesterday.

"The cliffs, it started to rain last night. It has not stopped yet. The river water has started to rise. There is no need to think about crossing the river for the time being. The cliff on the north side of the river is high and steep. From yesterday to now, more than 10 brothers have been injured. It is better to wait until the sky is clear before thinking about it." A battalion commander said dejectedly.

"Then you will strengthen your defense after you go back and wait until the sky clears. It is best to find out why more than 100 people were lost." Commander Lei ordered several battalion commanders helplessly.

The autumn rain in the Yimeng Mountains often lasts for several days. When the weather becomes clear after 5 days, Commander Lei and his battalion commanders were already dull and dazed. During these days, nearly 500 people were lost in the entire regiment, and more than half of the mules and horses. Like the group that disappeared for the first time, not only did the nearly 500 people, but also the 77 mules and horses disappeared without leaving any trace!

He was originally going to Mengyin County to wipe out the bandits, but now he didn't even see the shadows of Mengyin County and the bandits. His entire regiment was trapped in this corner, and he had inexplicably lost a multi-battalion force. Commander Lei felt like he was stuffed with a bunch of weeds, and the more he thought about it, the more he became more and more cowardly.

"We have been trapped here for 6 days, and we have been away from Linyi for 7 days. The food our brothers can carry up to 5 days. In the future, we will be hungry." The company commander of the logistics company in charge of logistics reported the situation to Commander Lei.

"How come it was so fast? Didn't we bring a lot of food when we came out?" Captain Lei was a little surprised.

"At that time, we thought we could arrive at Mengyin County in less than three days. It was just a little hard work. With more than 2,000 troops in our regiment, we could still capture the county occupied by No. 4,500 bandits in two days. We didn't expect that we were trapped here for more than 5 days. When we came out, each brother brought about dry food for about 10 days, and our logistics company also carried some food. We were worried that Mengyin County would not have food for us to raise after being robbed by bandits. Besides, now the mules and horses that camel transported food have lost 77 horses, and a lot of food were also lost, so there was naturally not much left." The company commander of the logistics company explained helplessly.

During these days, Commander Lei kept hearing several battalions of reports on the number of soldiers and mules and horses that disappeared out of thin air. Coupled with his inexplicable fear of unknown forces, he suffered huge torture in a short period of time. Now Commander Lei is in a trance, with a mess of hair and beard, and has lost a lot of weight. Compared with the high spirits he was when he left Linyi a few days ago, it is a real description of a major change.

"Wait for two more days, and see if the brothers who climbed up the cliff to investigate the surrounding situation can bring back good news. If it really doesn't work, when the river water is smaller, we will all go down the river and go out along the river." Captain Lei gritted his teeth and said fiercely.

"Tuanza, the river water has risen a lot after the rain these days. If it goes down the river, can it go out? What should I do if these weapons and equipment and mules and horses?" The deputy of the group asked a question.

"After two days, the water level is smaller. Everyone goes down the river to make their lives. Judging from their fortunes, there is at least some possibility of survival. If you stay here again, you either disappear out of thin air or starve to death! Damn it, what kind of evil is this that you have hit?!" Commander Lei stared at the cow's eyes and shouted at the deputy.

"Oh... it's really strange. Apart from the empty houses built with only thatched loess in these villages, there are not even sickles or axes, and they don't even have door panels, so they can't build bridges." The deputy of the group was very frustrated.

Three days later, Commander Lei had no choice but to order the remaining troops of the regiment to find a place to bury weapons and ammunition, and drive the mules and horses to the mountains and forests for stocking. Then, after a full meal of officers and soldiers in the regiment, they each took the few remaining dry food bags and dived to escape.

Two days later, more than 700 surviving defeated soldiers returned to Linyi station with their empty dry food bags.

"What! Your regiment didn't shoot a shot, and he came back like this without even walking halfway?! More than 700 people were left in more than two thousand people! So many weapons and equipment were lost! Why are you still alive?! I'll kill you!" Yang Shufan was furious after hearing the losses reported by Commander Lei.

"Host, please spare my life! It's not that I'm incompetent, it's really that wrong! If you don't believe me, go and ask those surviving brothers. If I lie in half a word, I will thunder and strike you!" Captain Lei knelt down and begged for mercy, swearing and screaming loudly.

"The troop seat is really not a problem with our troop seat. It's really that our troop is not lucky this time. Who would have thought that these situations would happen?" The deputy of the troop who reported to Yang Shufan with the leader Lei on the side also pleaded with mercy.

"Damn it! If you lose the battle, I can explain it to you, but you are tortured by some inexplicable ghosts and gods. How do you tell me to report to the military captain? How do you report to the military captain?! Could it be that a regiment under my command of Yang Shufan was defeated by a ghost? You don't think it's embarrassing, I think it's embarrassing!" Yang Shufan's anger was hard to relieve.

"But I'm telling the truth. The brothers and mules and horses that disappeared out of thin air did not make any noise, and did not leave even half a footprint. Do you think these are something that people can do? There are also a few villages I encountered along the way, which are simply ghost villages. Apart from some thatched and loess houses, there are no sickles, axes, pots and pans, and there are not even door panels, let alone food and property. The brothers in our group have the strength but nowhere to use them." Captain Lei felt that he was simply wronged.

Yang Shufan asked Commander Lei and Adjutant in detail again from the beginning, and learned about all the details of the regiment's actions since departure from Linyi. After understanding, Yang Shufan felt a little nervous. Looking at the Commander Lei and Adjutant who were almost unrecognizable a few days ago, Yang Shufan breathed a sigh of relief and shouted: "Get back and take you with you and those defeated soldiers! Let you spare you today and wait until you come back to deal with you!"

Commander Lei and his adjutant rushed back to his regiment headquarters in shame, waiting for the above-mentioned handling results.

At this time, at the regiment headquarters where Gu Haichuan, Yaojiadianzi, was located, Chen Zhiyuan and Fang Yunzhong heard the arrangements of Gu Haichuan and Sun Guantao and the other two of them about the operation, and were so surprised that their eyes could almost fall out.

"Haichuan, I didn't expect you to come up with such a bad idea. I guess the remaining people in that group are useless, at least it will be impossible for you to dare to go to the Yimeng Mountains to do evil again in the future." Chen Zhiyuan exclaimed.

"I think this is great. We wiped out more than 1,400 enemies without a single shot and a bullet, and obtained the entire regiment's weapons and equipment. If we do this a few more times, we will be developed." Fang Yunzhong, who is in charge of logistics, said happily.

"In fact, this action is different from the plan we originally planned. The idea was to think of this idea. It was only after I first caught more than 100 people's living rituals and learned the relevant information from them." Gu Haichuan explained with a smile: "Because we were thoroughly executing the order of Mr. Strong Wall and Clearing the World, the regiment did not see a single figure along the way. In addition, after all our things were arranged, everything seemed natural and desolate, which made the regiment suspicious. When camping, it was more special to take care of the things that were not clean, and there were temporary changes later. Guantao took a lot of effort to do this."

"All right, Haichuan, you came up with the idea. I just focused on the details and execution of the warriors." Sun Guantao said with a smile.

"Don't praise each other for your two. If you take such action next time, I will count me as one." Chen Zhiyuan put forward his opinion.

"However, although the results of our operation were very successful, this operation did not achieve the purpose of training new recruits through actual combat. Moreover, this time we took advantage of the enemy's lack of due preparations to succeed so smoothly. If Zhang Zongchang sent heavy troops again and had some preparations, we would not be so smooth next time." Gu Haichuan's mind was very clear.

"That's right! This time we first used the advance arrangement to trap the entire regiment of enemies who lacked corresponding preparations, and then used the tunnels that had already been dug up and hidden well to smuggle out the enemy officers and soldiers who drank the water we added and entered the sleeping area. It will not be so easy next time." Sun Guantao, chief of staff of the regiment, nodded in agreement.

"How did you solve those mules and horses?" Fang Yunzhong was a little confused.

"The guards fell asleep. We brought bridles and chews to the mule mother, then wrapped them with thick cotton cloth on their hooves, and just pulled them into the tunnel. When the other officers and soldiers came the next day, they naturally found that the mules, horses and some officers and soldiers were gone." Sun Guantao explained.

"Haha, I didn't expect that the tunnel we dug after occupying this area in order to consolidate the Yimeng controlled area in the future will be played such a role!" Chen Zhiyuan was very happy.

"Mr.'s arrangement is the first to predict the enemy's plane. Compared with the hills and valleys in his heart, we are still far from the way we do. It's really a mountain to look up to." Sun Guantao said with emotion.

"We shouldn't think about anything else." Gu Haichuan reminded everyone: "In August, about 5,700 new recruits were added in the Yimeng controlled area. At the beginning of October, we added a lot of working groups. It is now the end of October. In addition to Mengyin, the other arrangements in the rural areas of Yishui, Laiwu and Xintai have been started for more than half a month. At most, our departments will take action."

"According to the Mr.'s expectation, all four counties in Yimeng Xinlai will be taken down by then, and then the inconvenience of winter news transmission will be taken. Zhang Zongchang has no time to take care of it. By next spring, the entire Yimeng Mountains and surrounding controlled areas will be built into a consolidated large base. Our delegation is responsible for preventing the direction of Linyi and expanding eastward, so there must be no problems."

"Haichuan is right. We must make preparations now and take into account all aspects of our future actions as much as possible. We must ensure that we complete the task successfully." Chen Zhiyuan nodded in agreement.

"Then we have to make a good conclusion." Sun Guantao also nodded in agreement.

"No problem. As long as we can achieve this in future actions, we don't have to worry about our logistics." Fang Yunzhong also promised.

Several leaders in the entire team were full of confidence in the future for a while.
