Li Cuishan left the old doctor to take care of Miao Dehai in the small cave. He accompanied Yao Ligong and the others to his " headquarters ", which was a relatively large cave. He invited Yao Ligong to sit at the head of the table while he accompanied him. The family members who were in charge of cooking brought over a few basins, a few basins of wild vegetable soup, a basin of wild Zhuo meat, and a large basin of rice.
Yao Ligong did not move his chopsticks. Instead, he frowned and asked,""Big Brother Li, did the villagers and brothers send delicious food to us? Do they usually have so much to eat?”
Li Cuishan scratched his head awkwardly, unable to speak for a long time. He was an honest person and would not lie in front of his friends. Now that Yao Ligong had exposed him, he blushed and did not know how to answer. Yao Ligong smiled and waved his hand. A pile of canned food appeared on a large rock beside him. Before the dumbfounded Li Cuishan could react, Yao Ligong said to Zhang Haitian and the others,"Send these canned food to the kitchen and ask them to add food to the villagers and brothers. Everyone had worked hard today. They would have a good meal so that they would have the energy to deal with the Japanese.”
Zhang Haitian, Gao Qingyuan, and the others agreed and ran to the kitchen with the canned food. Yao Ligong turned around and said to Li Cuishan,""Big Brother Li, ask a few capable brothers to send the remaining cans to the Second Head and the others. He told them to be more vigilant and not to relax. The Japanese were very cunning.”
Li Cuishan had been stunned by Yao Ligong's series of " magical powers ". His words were like an imperial edict. He mechanically followed Yao Ligong's orders and arranged for people to send canned food to the brothers on duty at the mountain pass. He only woke up from a dream when Zhang Haitian and the others returned to the cave. Li Cuishan stood up and knelt in front of Yao Ligong again. He said with determination,"True God above, please accept my bow! Please have mercy on me, Lord True God, and take me in. I'm here to serve you.”
Yao Ligong chuckled and asked Zhang Haitian and the others to help Li Cuishan up. Then, he asked Zhang Haitian to tell Li Cuishan about himself. After Li Cuishan calmed down, Yao Ligong smiled and said,""Big Brother Li, now you should know who I am, right? I won't hide it from you. This time, I spent a lot of effort to support the Northeast Anti-Japanese Armed Forces led by Generals Tang Juwu, Zhang Binglin, and Zhao Dong. I want the anti-Japanese armed forces in the northeast to be united. Everyone will be able to think and work together. This will completely change the unfavorable situation of the anti-Japanese armed forces in the northeast region being scattered and fighting separately. It will make a major contribution to the final victory of China's comprehensive war of resistance. The geographical location of Phoenix Mountain was very important. The terrain was complicated, making it an ideal base. I've already stored a large amount of weapons, equipment, and living supplies in the back mountain. These are the material conditions for the survival and development of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Guardians. However, the most important factor in deciding the outcome of a war is still people. I also hope that Brother Li can put the overall situation first and lead your comrades to join the Northeast Anti-Japanese Revolutionary Army to fight against the Wei Nation's invading army. What do you think, Brother Li?”
Li Cuishan stood up without hesitation and said loudly,""Boss Yao is dedicated to the country. I, Li Cuishan, will never hold back the war. From today onwards, the Phoenix Mountain Anti-Japanese guerilla team, from Li Cuishan down, will be completely under Boss Yao's command. If they disobey, they will be abandoned by both humans and gods!”
"Big Brother Li, you're being too serious. We're all doing our best for the country, so why do you need to make such a heavy oath?" My idea is for you to personally select a group of clear-headed, quick-witted, and skilled backbones to join the Northeast Anti-Japanese Civil-Military Contact Office led by Big Brother Zhang. You can use your familiarity with this area to assist Big Brother Zhang Haitian in reconnaissance of the enemy and contact the anti-Japanese armed forces. The other brothers will join the Northeast Anti-Japanese guerrilla army and continue to contribute to the country. What do you think?”
"Boss's arrangement is exactly what I want. After accompanying Boss for dinner, I'll start preparing. I guarantee that I won't disappoint Boss!”Li Cuishan had already gotten into character. Like Zhang Haitian and the others, he had also changed his address to Yao Ligong as Boss. Yao Ligong was very satisfied with Li Cuishan's reaction. Everyone ate faster because they had something on their minds.
After dinner, Yao Ligong asked Zhang Haitian, Gao Qingyuan, and the others to stay behind to take care of Miao Dehai. He, Li Cuishan, and "Sky-Piercing Monkey" Qiu Ergou led hundreds of brothers over the mountain to the big cave where the weapons and supplies were stored. Yang Sihai and Zhang Yaomei, who were already looking forward to it, saw Li Cuishan and were naturally affectionate. Yao Ligong let " Sky-Piercing Monkey " Qiu Ergou lead everyone to collect all kinds of weapons. So much excellent equipment was an eye-opener for these country bumpkins. After collecting the equipment according to the requirements, they quickly learned how to operate the weapons in their hands under Yao Ligong's demonstration.
They brought their brothers, who were fully armed, loaded with bullets, and carrying all kinds of supplies on their shoulders, back to their nest. When they received the news, their families, who had already crowded in front of the cave, swarmed over and helped carry the supplies into the cave. The women, who had not seen " white noodles " and beautiful clothes for a long time, danced with joy. For a moment, the huge cave was filled with laughter.
People always said," Clothes make the man." The " bandits " who took off their tattered clothes, put on their yellowish-green jungle combat uniforms, and put on their steel helmets turned into valiant anti-Japanese warriors. Moreover, the combination of light and heavy machine guns, submachine guns, and rifles was reasonable, and the firepower immediately went up several levels. Under the strong request of the female comrades who were not inferior to men, Yao Ligong, who had always believed that women should go away in war, could not resist their "attack". He selected hundreds of strong women, most of whom were hunters, to form a "logistics guard" in the command. Their equipment was exactly the same as that of the field troops. Only then did they calm down the "anger" of these "half of the sky".
While Yao Ligong was being attacked by Half the Sky, Li Cuishan had already completed the task that Yao Ligong had given him. Together with Zhang Haitian and Gao Qingyuan, he picked out 30 or so young men with unique skills and brought them to Yao Ligong for the boss to inspect. Yao Ligong looked at these elite warriors who were full of energy and was very satisfied. Among these people, that young man was also among them. It seemed that this kid was not a weakling. After Yao Ligong gave them a lecture, he armed them all according to the equipment standards of the small team. Then, he asked Zhang Haitian, Gao Qingyuan, and the others to teach them how to use these advanced weapons. These young men were so excited that they didn't even know their surnames.
Seeing that it was almost time, Yao Ligong called Wang Xinhua over and ordered him to contact the main force, preparing to let the main force secretly enter Phoenix Mountain to change their equipment. Just as Wang Xinhua began to report, a series of gunshots pierced through the night sky and reached everyone's ears. The soldiers who were happily holding their weapons and chatting excitedly all jumped up. Yao Ligong quickly issued an order,"Big Brother Li, immediately lead all the combatants to occupy the mountain top and the ridges on both sides. Send someone to go to the mountain pass with Big Brother Qiu to convey the order to Big Brother Liang Zhongjiang (the second-in-command). Tell him not to linger in the battle.”
Li Cuishan agreed and asked the young man named Tao Shanhu and the Sky-Piercing Monkey Qiu Ergou to pass on the order to Liang Zhongjiang. Yao Ligong called the two of them over and gave them a few secret instructions. The two of them kept nodding their heads as they listened. After the two of them ran out of the cave, Li Cuishan led the team that had just changed into new equipment to climb up the mountain and lay in ambush on the ridges on both sides. Yao Ligong had his family hide in the cave, and the newly formed " Logistics Guard Team " was responsible for their safety. He ordered Zhang Haitian and Gao Qingyuan to lead a small team to guard the entrance of the cave. Then, he glanced at Wang Xinhua, who was sending a message, and an idea flashed through his mind.
"Brother Wang, where are the troops?”
"Boss, Chief of Staff Zhao said that they are less than three miles away from the mountain pass. They heard gunshots and asked what happened.”
"Good! Tell them that the Japanese are attacking Phoenix Mountain and I have ordered them to let them in. We've already made preparations to stop them. Let them speed up and block the retreat of the Japanese. We'll give them a pincer attack from both inside and outside to destroy this enemy. Also, remind them to be on guard against the 'mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it'. They must be more vigilant against the Japanese in the direction of Feng City. Once they discover the Japanese reinforcements, they must resolutely attack them. Whether or not they can successfully recover Feng City depends on today's battle!”
"Yes, sir!"
The Japanese were indeed too vengeful. The team that was sent to chase Li Cuishan and the others in the afternoon did not return until night time. This made Lieutenant General Asamura Hideyuki, who was the commander of the Fengcheng garrison, unable to eat his dinner. Hideyuki Okamura was the nephew of the famous Tianhuang General, Lieutenant General Okamura Yasuji. Like his uncle, he had graduated from the Wei Nation Army University. Under the guidance of Lieutenant General Okamura Yasuji, who was the commander of the Second Division, he had become the captain of the infantry before he was thirty.
After the Heavenly Locust Army's order to "solve the Chinese problem" was passed down, hundreds of thousands of Locust Army soldiers formed the "North China Dispatching Army"(also known as the "North China Front Army") and landed in Tanggu under the command of General Shouichi Terauchi. They began to "punish" China. Feng City was an important transit point and defensive node of the mainland's transportation line. Its importance was self-evident. Therefore, Lieutenant General Hideyuki Okamura was ordered to lead his infantry brigade to Fengcheng and was appointed as the commander of the "Fengcheng Garrison Command" by the Kwantung Army Command. It could be said that he was "riding on the horse's hooves." The complacent Lieutenant General Asamura Hideyuki dreamed of achieving meritorious service in this full-scale war of aggression against China and throwing away the label of "climbing to the position of captain because of his uncle's support" that his colleagues had imposed on him.
A spy of the Phoenix Mountain guerrillas, who had voluntarily joined them, had been stationed in Feng City. He had planned to arrest Li Cuishan, the stubborn member of the Phoenix Mountain guerrillas, and further exterminate the Phoenix Mountain guerrillas. He had made great contributions to the Imperium when he first took office, and he had also made his uncle proud. Who knew that the bandit leader Li Cuishan and his companions were very alert and quickly escaped before they could get into the encirclement, causing the trap that Atomura Hideyuki had carefully arranged to fall into the air.
What was worse was that the infantry squad that was sent to pursue them did not return. There was not even a report. After the scouting team brought back the bad news that " the infantry squads were killed at the entrance of Phoenix Mountain ", the exasperated Hideyuki Asamura left an infantry squadron, an artillery squad, a cavalry squad, and other logistics troops to guard Feng City. He personally led an infantry squadron and the original garrison team to form a " crusade team " of nearly a thousand people to attack Phoenix Mountain. He was prepared to take advantage of the relaxed mentality of the Phoenix Mountain guerrillas after their victory to catch them off guard.
