The Manbei Corps of the Anti-Japanese War, which was exhausted and full of wounded soldiers, quietly rested and prepared for three days. The First and Third Brigades began to move the wounded and sick to the new secret camp. Yu Chenglong sent two team members Wizard.
Before leaving, Captain Xiao came to say goodbye to Jackie Chan, and the two exchanged many instructions. Of course Aunt Xiao was in a low mood, with a heavy heart, even a little miserable!
"Haizi, this mission is different from usual. It is very dangerous. If you are far away, you cannot contain the Japs. If you are close, you will be easily overtaken. You guys cannot withstand the Japs' pursuit.
I advise you to contain the Japs and lead them out of the mountains, while you also run away from the mountains. It was so cold that we couldn't wander around in the mountains. If we didn't get wiped out by the Japanese, we would freeze to death.
Run outside the mountains and find a place to hide. When it gets warmer next year, go back to the mountains and contact us. You can run out as much as you can, even if you run out alone, it won't be a loss.
And don't be rash, just follow your temper. Third aunt is very worried about you, you must be obedient. This is a critical period of life and death, so you must protect yourself! "
Aunt Xiao San was a little reluctant to let go of Jackie Chan, but even more worried. She knew that in this cold season, it was very difficult to contain the little devil and escape unscathed.
"Don't worry, Third Aunt, I know the importance. Not only must you protect yourself, but you must also protect these brothers who share life and death. You will never act out of impulse.
After you arrive at the new secret camp, you must do a good job of concealment. If we fail to contain the Japanese, you must also be prepared to evacuate at any time.
At that time, run out of the mountain, just like when Tianyaoling was broken up in the past, hide first, and then try to make a comeback. Don't fight head-on with the little devils! "
Yu Chenglong held Aunt Xiao San's hand tightly. This was the hand that led him to where he is now, and is Yu Chenglong's eternal support. With Xiao Sanyi, Yu Chenglong had the confidence and the courage to overcome all difficulties.
"I won't say any more, just take care of yourself!"
Although Aunt Xiao had tears in her eyes, she still turned around resolutely and gave many instructions in a more sad tone. Then she said goodbye reluctantly and led the team on the journey to the new secret camp.
After Xiao Sanyi left with the team, two days passed. General Political Commissar Qin Gang, Commander-in-Chief Fang Tianzhu, and Chief of General Staff Yang Furen also began to move together with the Second and Fifth Brigades.
Before leaving, there were still a lot of warnings and instructions, until everything I wanted to say was said, then I reluctantly left. Even the soldiers hugged each other tightly with tears in their eyes.
Yu Chenglong originally planned to let Political Commissar Jin Yunji lead the team to move with the headquarters, but Political Commissar Jin refused and insisted on staying. There was no other way, so the team had to be led by Captain Wu Zhong and move along with the large army.
After the large troops moved, Yu Chenglong asked the soldiers to cook all the remaining food into cooked rice, form rice balls, and freeze them outside so that they could be eaten on the road.
They also reluctantly killed the two injured horses left behind after the large troops withdrew, divided them up and cooked them, and distributed them to each soldier equally to put them away and prepare to replenish their strength on the road.
He also asked the soldiers to smash some more alfalfa grass and bring it with them, and be prepared to keep warm to prevent frostbite. After making all preparations, Yu Chenglong ordered the team to relax and have a good sleep, waiting for the Japanese to arrive.
A few days later, the tracking and reconnaissance soldiers came back to report that the Japanese army had begun to take action, left the occupied secret camp, and was heading towards us.
Yu Chenglong asked the soldiers in charge of reconnaissance to also prepare, and sent two more people to conduct reconnaissance in the direction where the large army came here when they retreated, and estimated the time when the little Japanese would arrive here.
Two days later, the soldier in charge of reconnaissance came back and reported that the Japanese were still at most two days away from here. Yu Chenglong told the soldiers to rest and sleep immediately, and ordered to prepare for transfer at dawn the next day.
The next day, the soldiers got up early to heat and prepare meals, and began to line up and prepare to set off at dawn. Political Commissar Jin Yunji looked at the energetic soldiers and conducted pre-war mobilization on behalf of the brigade headquarters.
"Comrades and brothers, we have a very heavy task this time, which is to contain more than 2,000 Japs and the Jing'an Army and ensure the smooth transfer of large forces.
We are about to face two major tests, one is the vicious Japanese devils, and the other is the severe cold winter. If we are a little negligent, our lives may be taken away by these two enemies.
Difficult tests await us! But our Fourth Brigade is a brave, tenacious, and extremely capable team. Since its establishment, it has been invincible and has never suffered a defeat.
The head of the corps trusts us, and the comrades who have fought bloody battles with us are looking forward to us! Deputy Commander-in-Chief Yu Chenglong personally commanded our team, which strengthened our confidence in winning!
Those of us who are left behind are elites and the backbone of our army. We should be confident that we will be able to complete the mission and win!
I see that every comrade is eager to give it a try. Don't be anxious yet. There is plenty of fighting to be done. Now the team is disbanded and ready to leave in an hour.
Everyone continued to prepare to keep warm. I saw that some comrades did not have masks, some had too few masks, and some brought too few things, so they all went back to prepare immediately.
Bring everything you can, don't be afraid of being bulky or too much. We have to deal with the Japanese in the mountains for who knows how long. The first and most important thing is to overcome the severe cold. Now we will go back to the secret camp to prepare again. "
An hour later, the team regrouped and set off. Along the transfer route of the large troops, the teams lined up, with Yu Chenglong in the front, Political Commissar Jin in the middle, and Deputy Captain Zhang finishing behind.
The team moved very slowly, leaving observation posts as they went. This is because the little devil has not yet arrived at the secret camp, so there is no need to move too fast.
As evening approached, the team climbed up a ridge along the ravine. Yu Chenglong ordered the team to stop, lit more than ten fires, and left a few people to heat food. He led the large troops along the ridge to explore the way forward. .
After it was completely dark, Yu Chenglong led the team back, and everyone had their first dinner together after leaving the secret camp. Although they were in the wild, everyone did not feel too cold.
That night, the team of three or five people stayed together around the fire, but they didn't fall asleep. At dawn the next day, the remaining scouts came back to report the situation.
The little Japanese team arrived at the secret camp last night, but there has been no movement for the time being. Yu Chenglong asked the soldiers to heat and eat the food, and then asked everyone to put out the fire.
When it was almost noon, the scouts came back and reported that the enemy had first sent a small force, about thirty people were scouting the road ahead, and were heading in this direction, apparently trying to find our retreat direction.
