"Uncle, I'll go with you to take a look. I'm familiar with the terrain on the mountain and can provide timely support if there are any problems."
Li Mancang didn't say anything. Instead, he looked at Zhao Weiguo and Ma Guoqiang beside him and asked, "Leaders, what do you think?"
Ma Guoqiang smiled and said, "With great ability comes great responsibility. Comrade Xiao Xu has this awareness, and we should support him. Go ahead, and be careful!"
"Okay, thank you for your support!" Xu Jianguo said.
"Uncle, Funiu will probably look for me when she wakes up. Please tell her that I will bring her some candy when I come back." Xu Jianguo said to Li Mancang.
"Okay, don't worry, Funiu is with me!" said Li Mancang.
Xu Jianguo nodded to the three of them, then turned and left.
When Xu Jianguo's figure came near his yard, he looked behind him and saw that there was no one, so he completely increased his speed and chased after the large group in front.
In less than 5 minutes, Xu Jianguo discovered the green figures in the dense forest.
Without rushing forward, Xu Jianguo took out a rope more than 6 meters long from the space and put it on his back.
Xu Jianguo jumped up and down, shocking everyone so much that they opened their mouths wide, and soon came to Wang Dajun and Yang Liwu.
"Platoon Leader Wang, Platoon Leader Yang!"
"Comrade Xiao Xu, why are you here?"
"Minister Ma asked me to come along and take a look, so I can take care of anything."
"That's perfect, you lead the way for us!"
"good!"
Xu Jianguo led the soldiers over mountains and across rivers, heading towards the pond.
Not long after Xu Jianguo led everyone past the intersection, a ravine more than three meters wide and four meters deep appeared in front of them.
"Comrade Xiao Xu, how do we get through here? Do we have to go down into the ditch first?"
"Platoon Leader Wang, Platoon Leader Yang, this ditch connects to the ravine west of the pond. If we follow this direction, we'll reach the west side of the pond in about a thousand meters."
"We can set up surveillance in the ditch. We don't need too many people. After all, the Japs won't be able to jump over this width. If they want to, they will definitely go down to the bottom of the ditch and then climb up."
Xu Jianguo expressed what was in his mind.
"That makes sense!" Wang Dajun said.
"Old Yang, what do you think?"
"I also think what Comrade Xiao Xu said makes sense," said Yang Liwu.
The two of them then discussed it and quickly made arrangements.
Wang Dajun led his men to set up control in the ravine.
After finalizing the plan, Xu Jianguo took off the rope on his body and let everyone go down to the bottom of the ditch along the rope. Then he stepped back a few steps, and then suddenly jumped forward. In an instant, he crossed the ditch that was more than three meters wide and stood steadily on the opposite side.
The people at the bottom of the ditch gasped as they watched Xu Jianguo fly over their heads.
"Old Yang, can you do it?" Wang Dajun asked Yang Liwu.
Yang Liwu swallowed and wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything. He just shook his head helplessly.
Xu Jianguo tied the rope to a big tree, and Yang Liwu led the remaining soldiers to climb up quickly along the rope.
After saying hello to Wang Dajun and others, Xu Jianguo led Yang Liwu and others to continue moving towards the pond.
It took Xu Jianguo and his group more than 40 minutes to reach the water pond.
"Platoon Leader Yang, this is the pond!" Xu Jianguo said, pointing to the pond not far away.
Yang Liwu looked at Xu Jianguo with an embarrassed expression, and cursed his soldiers in his heart.
He originally thought that after entering the mountains, he would need to take care of the young comrade Xu Jianguo, but he didn't expect that in the end it was a grown-up child who took care of him, a man of more than 30 years old.
Yang Liwu had to admit that there really are many masters among the people!
"Platoon Leader Yang, let's take a break! Let's go check out the crevice."
"Okay!" Yang Liwu looked at the soldiers behind him who were sweating and panting, and then looked at Xu Jianguo who was relaxed and at ease, and was once again impressed.
You know, as a scout, Yang Liwu was already a leader in his unit, but now he was no match for Xu Jianguo and was instantly killed into ashes.
"Rest here, let's go take a look ahead." Yang Liwu said.
The two of them observed the situation around them and then walked towards the crevice.
"Jianguo, if you didn't take us with you, how long would it take us to get here?" Yang Liwu thought for a moment and asked.
"Well... about twenty minutes." Xu Jianguo said.
Yang Liwu gave a bitter smile. The journey that originally took twenty minutes actually took twice as long because of the burden of more than thirty people like him. The gap was really huge.
The two men came to the edge of the pool, and Xu Jianguo pointed out the location of the crevice to Yang Liwu. The soldiers guarding the crevice spotted them and greeted them.
Yang Liwu made a gesture to let them continue to hide.
The two returned quickly, and Yang Liwu began to assign tasks. Finally, Xu Jianguo and a squad of soldiers were arranged to control the situation above the waterfall.
"Signalman, contact the command center and report the situation as follows..." Yang Liwu reported his arrangements to the combat command center.
More than ten minutes later, the command center sent a message agreeing to Yang Liwu's battle plan, and told him that the joint command center composed of military leaders and county leaders had entered Sandaliang Village. At the same time, people from the county public security bureau and county hospital had also entered the mountains and were heading towards their destination, asking Yang Liwu and others to be ready to support them.
Xu Jianguo led several soldiers out of the mountain. Yang Liwu waited there for less than thirty minutes before seeing him coming over with a large group of people.
