Everyone looked at the sky because there was another roar in the sky: Japanese planes were still flying around in the mountains.
"Everyone hide!" Before Political Commissar Ding and Hu Yi could give orders, Xiao Zhuan'er took the lead and issued the order without any hesitation.
A large group of people stayed in the valley and were not easily discovered by the Japanese plane. Based on the sound of the plane alone, the distance of the Japanese plane was not too far away.
After being basked in the sun for a long time, the branches above their heads were all wilted and listless. The soldiers hurriedly cut down the trees again and stripped the branches.
Fortunately, the mountainous area is large enough. In one morning, although the distance is not very far, the distance from the Japanese is still twenty or thirty miles away. Only two Japanese reconnaissance planes want to find disguised, prepared, and stupid people in the vast mountains. The one or two hundred people in the ravine are basically dreaming.
The sound was getting closer and closer, and time was running out. The soldiers, whose camouflage was worn out, panicked. They pulled out their bayonets and hacked at the lower part of the bush, made a hole, and then got in. Only after entering did they realize that they couldn't last long at all. Stay, inside the bush, surrounded by broken thorns. If you don't pay attention, you will be stabbed.
When someone discovered that there were poisonous twigs in the bushes, the soldiers became even more distraught and did not dare to move. Beads of sweat dripped down their heads.
A gust of wind blew up, and the valley became desolate again. The girl followed Hu Yihe and the political commissar. The petite figure's clothes were fluttering, and he frowned and looked at the sky. He was silent for a long time, and was completely lifeless for a while.
"We have to find a way to know what the current situation of the Independent Group is. We have to arrange for people to take a small road back. We must find out!" Ding De was worried about the Independent Group.
"I don't know what's going on at the wine station now! I don't know what's going on with the militiamen who returned?" The little girl was also worried.
"Let me tell you, what are you doing in the Independent Regiment talking about the wine station? Almost all the regiment headquarters have moved to the wine station. What's wrong with you?" Ding De frowned.
"Then send two people back to the regiment headquarters, but they have to be familiar with this mountain. It seems... no one in our team is familiar with it, right?" Although Hu Yi has walked through it a few times, the road is now full of Japanese soldiers, so he has nothing to do.
"Otherwise, go to the special agent company. They are familiar with this area. Plus Wang Daniu, he is familiar with the Shannan area. As long as you go over there, there should not be that many Japs. Then go south to find one in Chen Chong's class. Each of the three is familiar with it. Isn't it just a short journey?" Her pigtails curled up, she withdrew her eyes to look at the sky, and came up with an idea excitedly.
"It's a good idea. You are an experienced Comrade Hongying. After you return, you must contact the underground organizations in Meixian County to confirm the situation of the Japs entering the mountains from the south and find out their origins. When the Japs plane passes, you will immediately follow the soldiers Let’s go together!”
"Let me go? Can I walk such a long way?" The pigtail almost exploded. Isn't this just another way to make myself a deserter? Of course, the excuse for refusal was also high-sounding.
"Why can't you leave? Let Luo Fugui carry you away!" The political commissar's words were unquestionable, and his voice was decisive.
"But when I come back to report the news, where will I find you? You can't just stay in this broken ravine and wait, right?" Big Eye Gulu stopped offering any advice and started looking for difficulties.
When there is a dispute.
Unexpectedly, another soldier came from the front, but he was the division communications officer.
Covered with branches, after entering the bush, he went directly to Political Commissar Ding and others who were arranging tasks.
"Divisional Headquarters Order: Immediately arrange for people to accompany the special agents back to the Independent Regiment, find a way to cross the Japanese blockade, and find out the origin and movements of the Japanese who entered the mountains from the southeast to sweep up!"
"We are also preparing to send people back, but how to contact them when they come back..."
"This is not a problem. The division commander named the independent regiment and the supplementary regiment. You two regiments do not have radio stations and can only rely on human legs to send messages. You must rush back to the southern pass of Guxin Township within three days. Someone will be there to respond! "The correspondent replied quickly.
Hu Yi stood up weakly without saying a word.
This order is very unkind. It takes three days to go back and forth, covering the whole mountain road, and has to pass through the Japanese blockade. If you encounter the Japanese, you have to take a detour. This is an impossible task.
The headquarters was surrounded. Others couldn't figure it out, but Hu Yi and Ding De didn't think much about it. They didn't hesitate at all. What else could they do? They just arranged and executed it immediately.
After conveying the order, the correspondent left the bush and continued westward. He wanted to find Captain Li of the special agent company to arrange manpower.
"What's going on?" The girl happily took off her hat and fanned herself, and sighed in a fake tone: "I originally wanted to complete the task of finding out the news, hey, now, I'm going back and forth every three days, I don't have anything to do, right?"
"Company Commander Hu, go and prepare. Just pick the brothers who are in good health according to the personnel just arranged and set off immediately." The political commissar issued the order. According to the military order, the highest command in wartime is the military chief at all levels. It should not be considered wartime now. , not to mention that the political commissar is who knows how many levels higher than Hu Yi.
Hu Yi knew that the political commissar wanted the girl to go first. The current situation was that although the mountainous area was very large, there were many people on the road in the mountains. If the Japs really wanted to see the way around, they would search along it. If there were Japs entering the mountains from the southeast, sooner or later they might be captured. The enemy chased him or met him on his back.
"No one knows the specific situation in the south now. It's strange. We are so poor that we even have a radio station!" The political commissar was also worried.
"I said, let's just send a few people to guard the nearby intersection. For such a big thing, wouldn't the Independent Regiment and Chen Chong's family's supplementary regiment send people to report to the division headquarters?" Hao, the rarely seen Ninth Company Adjutant Yun made a suggestion absentmindedly.
In his opinion, Ding Dangxiang, who was replenishing the poor regiment, was once settled. Although he lamented that his life was not good, the army became smaller and smaller, and became poorer and poorer, which ruined his good luck.
"That's a good suggestion. I'll talk to the secret service company later and let them make arrangements. We're not familiar with the situation, so we'll just follow the arrangements." The political commissar had a good impression of the new recruits from the Nine Recruits, and he dared to say anything he wanted to say.
“Also let me tell you about the current serious situation:
I had an impromptu meeting with the division commander and the others. Within a few minutes of the meeting, the division commander almost jumped up and even dropped his hat.
Because, the latest news came from the radio. Unexpectedly, the situation in the headquarters was so serious. More than 10,000 people were collectively surrounded by Japanese soldiers, and only a few hundred people broke out. Last night, the chief of staff also died. "
There were more than 10,000 people, but only a few hundred people broke out!
The amount of information was a bit overwhelming, and all the people listening nearby were speechless.
What's this? Just a hair’s breadth away, the Eighth Route Army headquarters was completely wiped out!
After staring at the political commissar for a few minutes, the girl suddenly said: "Political commissar, we can't stay here and wait in vain."
"What?" Ding Deyi was immersed in pain.
"Tell the division, our entire company wants to return to the Independent Regiment. This hatred is irreconcilable. Let's go to the headquarters!"
"Huh?" The political commissar almost dropped his jaw: "You asked me to report false orders, and you want to go to the headquarters?... No way!"
Including Hu Yi, a group of people around him changed from hurt to stupid.
Even Luo Fu on the side was dumbfounded. What he said was very scary. Those clear big eyes had never been so calm. There were faint traces of sweat on her face. It did not kill her innocence, but revealed ruthlessness. .
