On the other side of the river, a fire extinguishing dragon snakes along the river bank into the distance, and a group of people by the river are rushing to get on the raft.
"Girl? What happened to girl? What did you do to Tang Dagou? If something happens to girl, I will kill you!" Ding De, who was directing the soldiers of the ninth company to jump onto the raft, was shocked and furious.
"Political commissar, hehe, the girl is fine. We don't have to worry about her running fast. Hao Yun carried her back!" Tang Dagou breathed a sigh of relief.
"Is the girl okay? That's good!" Ding De lowered his tone: "By the way, where is Company Commander Hu?"
"Well, we weren't out yet when we left. Maybe it was at the back." Tang Dagou felt a little guilty. He left his commander on the battlefield and ran away first. No one noticed him, so it was fine. The political commissar happened to ask about this, and his heart beat violently.
"We in the Eighth Route Army have no rules about abandoning our comrades. Tang Dagou, take your people back with me!" Ding De waved his hand and immediately prepared to return.
Tang Dagou and a group of soldiers looked at each other in confusion. This was the political commissar of the regiment in front of him. No one dared to resist. Go back and meet the Japanese? Is this possible? Touching back slowly.
In the dark night, another group of people poured out from the entrance of the village.
Li Xiang, who followed, rushed over with half a platoon of wounded soldiers.
Ding De's face darkened, and he had no choice but to give up the idea of taking people back, and shouted loudly: "The wounded soldiers go up first, the others put the guns and ammunition on the raft, get into the water and climb on the raft to cross the river!"
Upon seeing this, Tang Dagou immediately pulled away one of his men who had jumped onto the raft, leaving room for Hao Yun, who was holding the little girl dizzy, and threw the Czech machine gun onto the raft without hesitation.
Seeing that the audience was still stunned, he immediately shouted in displeasure: "A bunch of logs, why are you still stunned? Hurry up and get the wounded aboard, start the boat... uh, start the platoon." He raised his hand and pointed at the soldier holding the torch: "You Is he dead? Hurry up and put out the torch!"
Tang Dagou raised his hand and pointed at his men: "What the hell are you doing on the raft? Go into the water!"
"Monitor, I don't know how to swim, I'm afraid!"
"If you're afraid, you have to go into the water. Hold on to the raft because you're afraid of a ball. The devil is coming and you don't even have a chance to go into the water. It's cool to give you two holes in your eyes. Hurry up!"
The soldier slowly got into the water and tightly grasped the feet of a wounded soldier squatting on the raft. The wounded soldier became anxious: "Are you going to die if you grab the raft? Why are you grabbing my feet? Are you going to Are you dragging me into the water?"
Tang Dagou yelled: "You're so damn yelling that you've attracted the Japanese. Do you want to die?"
The word "Japanese" calmed down a group of guys who were eager to escape. They stopped talking. The rafts were fully loaded. The soldiers began to pull the ropes tied to the rafts hard. Using their feet, the rafts slowly moved towards the other side of the river. After drifting away, we found that the river was not actually wide, and the current was just a bit fast. The raft draft was too deep, and it almost sank into the river. Fortunately, Wang Daniu personally directed it, so it would not topple over.
The uninjured soldiers in Li Xiang's platoon did not go into the water and swam across without any problems. The wounded had already moved to the other side of the river. There was another reason. They were carrying guns, grenades and grenades, and they would sink into the river as soon as they hit the water. Here, throw it away? Of course not, the raft is already overweight and we have to wait for the next trip.
"Tang Dagou, please arrange for one or two soldiers to wait here. When the raft comes back later, send half of the people to the other side of the river to establish a position. At the same time, be ready to blow up the crossing rope at any time, put the guns and ammunition on the raft, and the others Get ready to get into the water and swim over there!" Ding De saw Li Xiang's squad of soldiers staying on the shore and immediately gave Tang Dagou an order.
It had to be like this, and it was expected that the platoon that Tang Dagou had just recruited would block the attack. Maybe with a volley of guns, these guys would all become deserters. Put them on the other side of the river, safe and sound, and there should be no problem for these guys to have a smooth battle.
He had already discovered a small high ground about fifty meters away, and Ding De called out loudly: "Li Xiang, dig fortifications immediately on that small earth bag to stop the Japanese. Hurry up."
Tang Dagou understood the political commissar's thoughts and immediately reacted, so he spoke up and came up with an idea: "Political commissar, when the Japanese come down from the village, we can take the people upstream. Of course, we can also go downstream and cross the river. I'm sorry, do you think? "
"Well, your consciousness has improved. Stop being so verbose. The people who lead you will go over immediately. Li Xiang, take half of the people back with me. I'll take care of Company Commander Hu behind me and arrange for two people to plant grenades and make mines on the roadside!"
"Yes" Li Xiang replied, and immediately started to make arrangements: "But I only have about ten people in total, so I don't have enough troops?"
"Tang Dagou, you, Hao Yun and Banxian will lead one soldier to stay. Li Xiang, arrange for two more people to mount the machine gun fifty meters east. When the Japanese come, use two magazines to retreat eastward! "The little girl's voice sounded at an inappropriate time.
"You...didn't you get on the raft? Why did you come back again?" Ding De was shocked.
"Hehe, Mrs. Mupai, she can pass seven or eight at a time. She almost sank to the bottom when she fired two machine guns. She had no choice but to jump down. Hasn't the fox not come back yet?"
"Hao Yun, if you dare to run without my order next time, my aunt wants you to look good." The little girl rolled her eyes at Hao Yunzheng, who was soaked next to her.
"Well, didn't Captain Hu give the order to retreat?" Hao Yun didn't care.
"You have to leave people to stop you when you retreat, right? Is your national army running around like this in a swarm? No wonder, tsk tsk!"
Ding Deyi suddenly realized that the arrangements he had prepared were completely disrupted by this girl.
"Boss Hu, we seem to be surrounded."
"Don't worry, the terrain in the village is complicated. The Japanese haven't discovered us yet. Only by running to the river can we have a chance to break out and let me down."
"Uh, Boss Hu, can you still leave?"
"I just have shoulder pain, nothing to worry about, but the machine gun can't fire. It's up to you this time. Don't be so pessimistic."
A bayonet hanging under the muzzle of the gun pushed aside the branches blocking the road. A Japanese soldier appeared in the gap between the leaves. Seeing the dark bend of the river under the weak moonlight outside the village, the Japanese soldier carefully checked the surrounding environment and continued to move towards the village. He walked into the ferry area before, but he didn't know that he was already being stared at nervously by a dozen pairs of eyes.
Then seven or eight more Japanese soldiers appeared, each with a bayonet attached to his rifle and two torches.
The oil-soaked torches buzzed in the mountain wind. The fire dragon in the distance seemed to be at least two miles away. Apart from the footsteps of a large number of Japanese soldiers, the only sound left was the rushing of the river.
Several Japanese soldiers began to move towards the river, wanting to confirm whether there was a bridge on the river. The Japanese soldiers separated into two groups and searched carefully upstream and downstream of the Zhuoshui River respectively.
village.
From time to time, the screams and moans of the Japanese could be heard from the nearby house. The black shadow in the ditch outside the house didn't dare to move. It hasn't been dark for a long time now, and it's still early before dawn. I hope the Japanese can leave here soon. I've been lying down for a while, and the Japanese footsteps haven't stopped. It's so good. How many Japs are there?
You come to such a remote place with so many people? Come for a sightseeing tour?
The soldiers on the Eighth Route Army did not know about Hu Yi's conversation with Political Commissar Ding and several platoon leaders. They knew that there were many Japs behind them, but they did not know how many there were.
