When Hu Yi came out of the darkness, he lit a fire near the cliff. Under the light of the fire, people were sleeping all over the place. Some were wearing patched Eighth Route Army uniforms, some were wearing puppet army uniforms, and some were wearing Helmet.
The appearance of Hu Yi made Company Commander Chen a little stunned when he looked at the mess of teams on the ground. He seemed to have seen him before.
Memories of effort.
There were quite a few messy troops like this in the Eighth Route Army, which would not be particularly surprising, especially the troops in the mountains, where there were even more.
Company Commander Chen thought for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out. Finally, he asked the man opposite him with thick eyebrows and narrow eyes the same question he had asked earlier: "Which part do you belong to?"
"The Ninth Company of the Independent Regiment." Hu Yi answered directly.
He looked at the middle-aged man who had just woken up with an expressionless expression. He was about thirty years old, tall and of average height, with a dirty stubble on his face and bloodshot eyes. He was obviously a leader because he had a shell gun hanging on his waist!
Company Commander Chen was stunned for a moment, and seemed to suddenly realize that the girl didn't panic before, and he seemed to have fallen into a trap!
Then he searched his memory hard: "Are you... called Hu Yi?"
It was Hu Yi's turn to be stunned and didn't reply. He just narrowed his eyes and frowned heavily. He didn't think he was so famous. Just pick up a random person from the mountains and you would know him!
"Haha... When your independent regiment was poisoned, I led a company and fought with Wang Peng. Do you remember? Uh... my name is Chen Jishi!"
"Poisoned... Wang Peng... Timely Rain?? That time, thank you very much!" Hu Yi thought about it.
"Timely rain? What? You guys are so funny! Haha..." Hearty laughter.
"How is the situation in the mountains?" Hu Yi didn't have time to talk to him about the past.
"This time we went into the mountains for reinforcements, and the troops were almost disabled!"
"Can you tell me the specific situation?" Hu Yi turned his head and faced the darkness: "Li Xiang... come and record it! Prepare the message!"
It was Company Commander Chen's turn to be stunned again: Prepare a message?
Don't tell me that you are a poor independent regiment with only four companies in total, and you still have a radio station, right?
I’ve been chatting with the girl next to me for almost half an hour, and until now, I still don’t know the specific situation of this team!
Feeling a little uneasy: "Look... I think... now is not the time to talk about this."
"Our mission is to inquire about the headquarters. I think you should know some information, right?" Hu Yi was eager to know the details of the headquarters and did not hide his purpose.
Company Commander Chen hesitated for a moment and pointed to the north where he and his group had come: "The enemy is right behind. I suggest that it's best to move now!"
After finishing speaking, seeing that Hu Yi didn't move, he had to stop talking, anxiously, and looked at Hu Yi in a daze.
Looking at Company Commander Chen who still had a tired look on his face, Hu Yi knew that the Japs were in the north, less than 200 meters away from the end of the road opened by Pan Zhuzhu.
When the Japanese arrived, Company Commander Chen and others had been running for their lives in a hurry, otherwise they would have discovered Pan Zhuzhu and his group busy not far to the south.
It was precisely because Luo Fugui was messing around in front that he delayed Pan Zhuzhu's progress in opening the road. Otherwise, he would have just a little distance to face the Japanese.
Now the enemy is in the light and we are in the dark. The Ninth Company is never short of bold people. In the dark night, they still hide in the recesses of the cliffs and light a fire. There are soldiers on guard in the north. They will definitely not be discovered until they get closer.
"Okay, let me tell you what happened on the way to the reinforcements first..." Company Commander Chen also felt that he was a shadowy figure. He had been chased by the Japanese for several days, and it seemed that all his pride was gone.
...
In a small tent, Captain Chen finally closed his jaw, which had dropped twice in a row. At this time, he looked stupidly at the soldiers who were sending reports, and his jaw dropped to the ground again.
He turned around and stared at the expressionless Hu Yi next to him. Maybe the radio station was temporarily equipped by the division for the Ninth Company, so he didn't ask any more questions.
Company Commander Chen said so much that Li Xiang couldn't record it, so he went to the tent and dictated it directly. The operator compiled the language into codes one by one, adding some code words, and the clear-coded radio waves flew outward in the mountains.
In the deep mountains and canyons, no one cared about whether the division headquarters could receive radio waves. Anyway, the telegrams sent by the division headquarters were received.
Company Commander Chen was surprisingly sleepy. He would occasionally help soldiers with sore hands by cranking the generator, and then dictate his experience, analysis, and judgment of the past few days. The radio station next to him kept beeping all night long.
No matter how busy we are, when the moonlight dims, the sky in the east slowly brightens, and the sun rises as usual on a new day.
It will not stop because of anyone's life and death difficulties.
Company Commander Chen finally couldn't hold on any longer and fell into the tent, snoring loudly.
Hu Yi was lying in the corner of the tent. The security work was personally arranged by squad leader Wang of the special agent company. The soldiers of the third company who returned to the station consciously found a place to lie down on the edge of the cliff. After working as a coolie for a day, they waited until dawn for the change of guard. The special agent company soldier.
I was so hungry that I was dizzy and speechless. Fortunately, Wang Xiaosan got up early and was preparing meals for the new day before dawn.
I have to say that the food in Jiulian is good, at least three meals are provided, even if the lunch meal is fried noodles and water.
Without any explanation, he took a few lunch boxes of millet porridge bubbling over the fire and took them off, pulled off the kettle, poured some cold water into the lunch boxes to cool down, poured it into his stomach three times, five times five times two times, and then, under Pan Zhuzhu's arrangement, Fall down and go to sleep.
Hu Yi opened his eyes and listened to the quarrels coming from the fire with a tent blocking the light. It was not that he didn't know that the position he was in was very dangerous. The unexpected appearance of Captain Chen stopped the Ninth Company's adventure of going deeper into the Japanese encirclement. It should be considered a good thing.
He was used to the way the Japs treated the Eighth Route Army, and knew how close he was to death now. The fifty or so numbers he was carrying would definitely not end well if they were bitten by the Japs.
The only hope is that all the Japs below the waterfall will be wiped out, and the Japs headquarters will not react so quickly. However, if a Japs unit fails to report to their superiors on time, they will be discovered sooner or later.
As for the group of Japs following behind Company Commander Chen, it is unlikely that they will go down the river to pursue them. After all, the river is fast and there is no specific target after entering the river. What the Japs can do now is to use the radio to notify their headquarters. There are only five or six It is difficult to say whether the Eighth Route Army will mobilize troops to encircle and suppress the escaped Eighth Route Army.
After the moon came out last night, it didn't rain in the mountains overnight, and the valley seemed much quieter in the early morning.
The sound of water flow and waterfalls has become quieter. Perhaps, I have become accustomed to it after listening to it for a long time.
The tent was opened, and a figure flashed in.
He sat directly next to Hu Yi and said, "Well, morning, Captain Hu!"
"What's the matter?"
"The situation is... not good. We found that the river water has become smaller, and many river beaches have been exposed along the river. The Japanese camped in the north seem to be showing signs of entering the river!" Squad Leader Wang, who had just sat down, took out a cigarette and said to himself Gu Zi lit it, took a puff, and then explained the situation.
A pungent aroma of smoke filled the tent.
"Can you walk in the river?" Hu Yi was startled and sat up! The water in this river is receding too fast.
"It should be difficult to walk now. There are several big backwater bends. However, the road we drove near the cliff may be exposed, but the devils can't come directly when they go down the river. Now they have to go through those bends. I think , even if the Japanese come, it will be very difficult in a short period of time! But if we wait until the afternoon, it may not be possible."
Hu Yi thought for a while: "Our mission has basically been completed. You can make arrangements now and go down for reconnaissance first. If there are no problems, you can retreat after the group leaves."
"Yes, but Captain Hu, I think our mission was completed too easily this time?"
"Easy? You think it's too easy. How many times have you flown on Japanese planes?"
"Isn't that Captain Chen the one who falls into the world?"
