"Captain Li? Welcome! You didn't arrange security work, so you came here!" Ding Deyi forced a smile and stretched out his hand from a distance. Captain Li of the secret agent company hurriedly squeezed through the gaps between the soldiers who consciously stepped aside. He came in, saluted Ding De, and then the two held their hands together and shook them up and down.
It was said to be a welcome, but the silent audience around them didn't even give a single round of applause.
"Haha, Commissar Ding, I'm here just to say thank you!" The two of them parted their hands, and Captain Li's hearty laughter spread.
I have just observed it outside. This unit of the Independent Regiment is not simple. It actually has two machine guns. In other words, the firepower of this company is as high as the machine gun platoon! It turned out that Li Xiang from the division arsenal was also there, and the iron thing he was carrying must be grenade launchers, five of them. Such equipment could almost surpass that of a special agent company.
"I was just introducing your glorious tradition to the soldiers. Captain Li, you came just in time. Let me tell you more!" Ding Deyi was in a bad mood, but he didn't want to lose face, so he had to find an excuse.
"Hey, you just exposed us all. What else can I say? Political Commissar Ding, your independent group has made great achievements. I heard that you stopped the Japanese all the way and fought day and night for three days. We housekeepers don’t dare to compete with you!”
"Most of the soldiers in our company have been killed or injured, and we can only delay the Japanese in less than a day. How can we accomplish anything?"
"Don't say that. The correspondent in the division just said that if you hadn't stopped the Japs, maybe the division headquarters would have been taken over by the Japs this time. By the way, the comrades who stayed at the division headquarters before we set off, News also came that after nine o'clock last night, the Japanese advance team had just raided the division headquarters. Their actions were only three hours away from our transfer. If you don't make a contribution, it will be unjust!"
"This is all thanks to Company Commander Hu. He was the first to judge that a group of people should be advancing into the team, and then called the division communications officer who came across the order to report back to the division. As a result, I heard what the division commander said just now, and did not pay attention to it. It took some time, but unfortunately the news was not conveyed to the headquarters."
"Political Commissar, I think even if the news reaches the headquarters, it is impossible for the headquarters to think of having a relationship with them even if it is one or two hundred miles away from them. Can you tell me, you met the Japanese advance team very early, what happened? How to deal with it?"
"What the hell, when Company Commander Hu and I met, the Japs were retreating outside the division headquarters for some unknown reason. We guessed that the Japs wanted to gather in other troops from the advance team, so they ran westward instead."
"You mean, the Japanese have already discovered the division headquarters?"
"The possibility is very high. According to the folks along the way, many people have encountered a group of Eighth Route Army troops claiming to be the Sixth Brigade. After asking them carefully, it is said that everyone in that group has a gun in their hand, so, We have analyzed it in the division and found out that not many of our Eighth Route Army troops all have guns, or the standard three machine guns. We believe that, except for your special agent company, none of the troops in the mountains can do this for everyone. Got a gun."
"Later, how did you get involved with the Japanese army again?"
"The three of us are following the Japs. Fortunately, from the current point of view, the Japs advancing team should cooperate with the large forces in the north to attack. We don't want to expose the target. Otherwise, we would have gone to see Marx earlier!"
"Three people? I'm a little confused, uh, what's going on, but aren't you a company?"
"When the Japanese army entered the mountain, it was originally blocked by the Model Regiment. When we were at the mountain pass, we joined their company and beat down only one squad of soldiers. Later, we encountered our troops again."
Ding Deyi slowly told the process to Captain Li on the opposite side.
"Captain Hu, don't you want to see him so much?" Knowing the process, Captain Li immediately looked at Hu Yi who was still lying down with admiration. Jier turned his head and smiled at Hu Yi who was still lying down.
"Boss Hu is injured!" Hu Yi didn't say anything. Luo Fugui next to him didn't think anything of it. After listening to the political commissar talking for a long time, he finally realized that this battle was not in vain. He should have saved the division. Seeing that Hu Yi didn't say anything, He quickly helped explain.
"Excuse me, what should I call him?" Captain Li secretly praised him. The big man in front of him had a figure that was rare in the Eighth Route Army.
"This is our Platoon Leader Luo." It was Xu Xiao who replied.
Jiulian is also weird. People who are asked will never answer by themselves. Someone has to help. This is not a good habit of Jiulian.
Hu Yi, who had been lying down, slowly sat up, straightened his military cap, patted his uniform a few times, looked directly at the commander of the special agent company standing there, and said without emotion: "Captain Li, there is no need to say thank you, you are going to fight the Japanese." , I just heard that you don’t have many bullets, so I just gave you some support.”
Seeing Hu Yi stand up, Captain Li said in a hearty voice: "Well done to you, Ninth Company!"
"Thank you." Hu Yi was still nonchalant.
With a smile on his face, Captain Li came to Hu Yi, lowered his head and extended his hand: "Hello, I haven't introduced you formally yet. My surname is Li. I owe this division to you. There is still a long way to go. Let's try our best when we have time. Drink two cups."
Hu Yi shook hands with the other party politely, and according to Captain Li's words, he should be ready to leave.
When they met twice, neither of them said a few words. One was cold and the other couldn't stand the coldness.
After Captain Li left with the two soldiers standing outside, Hu Yi looked at Ding Deyi intently.
"What are you looking at me for? There is a flower on your face?"
Hu Yi smiled bitterly: "When I came out this time, I almost emptied my family's fortune. Now... uh... how is the situation in the mountains?"
"The headquarters is under siege. There are only a few people who have broken out so far. Most of them are surrounded by the Japanese. Most importantly, many people from the Northern Bureau and Xinhua News Agency's civilian units are surrounded by the Japanese. It is estimated... that the losses will be huge." Political Commissar Ding sighed and said helplessly.
"Is it that serious?" Hu Yi looked surprised.
"The most important thing is that our troops. Most of the strong ones left the mountains and entered the plains. This time the ghost raids blocked all the roads into the mountains. Our troops outside had no way to return to support, so they were captured by the ghosts. Let us take advantage of the situation, otherwise with tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers, we will not be able to gain any favor in the thousands of miles of Taihang Mountains."
While the two were talking, Xiao Hongying kept pulling at the dogtail grass on the roadside. Listening to the political commissar's words, there were many people she remembered at the headquarters, many of whom were civilians. They looked worried and stared at the north with big eyes.
With his braided hair and face gray, he stood up and took advantage of the gap between Hu Yi and the political commissar to interject: "Uncle Ding, the situation is really so serious. Is there any news about the regiment leader?"
"Not yet. News came from the periphery. The Japanese attacked in more than ten directions, focusing on the headquarters. Our division headquarters should also be an important target. It's just that our blocking bought time for the division headquarters to move and we survived!" Ding De looked gloomy.
"The Japs have entered the mountain. There are too many Japs. By the way, what are the arrangements for the division now?"
"The division has asked the Beishan Regiment to reinforce the headquarters. The situation is not optimistic. We have to get out of the Japanese encirclement first. Once the Japanese find that there is no one in the division, they will definitely search and sweep around. The key is that we came out with more than a hundred people, and we originally deliberately stayed here. Some clues!"
Two seconds later, a pair of braids suddenly raised: "Uncle Ding, can we go to support the headquarters now?"
"It's easy to say. There are Japs everywhere. Where can we get reinforcements? We are almost a hundred miles away from the division headquarters. It will take at least two days to march with all our strength. With just a few people like us, it didn't work at all in the past. We know that the Japs in the north have How many troops are there? There are nearly 30,000 Japanese drawn from three divisions."
Everyone who listened took a breath, thirty thousand Japanese? My dear, how many do you need? The independent group has never exceeded a thousand.
Although the girl is young, she has been in the army since she was a child. After so many years, when she heard that there were 30,000 Japanese soldiers, she immediately realized how serious the situation was. She originally wanted to be a fool and go to support the headquarters.
The thought ended before it even started. He lowered the braids on his head again and tore off all the grass under his hands: "This is all the fault of the Japanese advance team. When Li Youcai asked us about the situation of the Japanese in the mountains, something was wrong!"
Their minds were beating fast, and a group of people all looked up at the sunny, blue sky.
