"I think it's a complete waste for you to do this." Hu Yi followed behind Company Commander Chen. Company Commander Chen felt it was a pity that bullets were wasted here.
"You may not understand that the Japanese do not want to occupy this mountain. They just want us to be unable to survive in the mountain. But do you think it is possible?"
"Then...what does it have to do with you beating them and not even capturing anything?" He was panting as he walked.
"I just want him to know that outside the encirclement, there are still troops with strong fighting capabilities!"
"Surround Wei and rescue Zhao?"
"I can't say, I'm not that capable!"
"Is this the real purpose of your fight?"
"I tried my best!"
"This... is also... you didn't send anyone to clean the battlefield, is it also to show your strength to the enemy?"
"I don't want any more sacrifices!"
"It seems like we're running out of ammunition, right?"
"We can still fight a small battle!"
Company Commander Chen stared at Hu Yi and raised his hands: "No, no! This is the first time in so many years that I have seen troops with such strong firepower. If I didn't know who you are, I wouldn't believe it!" Especially, you are from the independent group!"
"You're not bad either. If you hadn't worked so hard to stop the Japs in the mountains, the headquarters would have been completely destroyed!"
Company Commander Chen Jishi smiled bitterly: "This is the responsibility we should bear. If I didn't meet you, you would also know the situation of the cliff. Now you may not have jumped off the cliff!"
"That's another thing, but the soldiers of the Ninth Company are all men. I lead them just in the hope that they can survive!"
"You have so much ammunition? Did the division replenish it?"
"Well...it's a supplement...to part of the division. What's wrong?"
"That's it! You're not really going north, are you? Or west!"
"It's useless for us to go in any direction!"
"Just guerrilla in the mountains? This seems to have nothing to do with your purpose of fighting these Japs! Impossible, Old Hu, tell me, what is your plan?" Company Commander Chen walked in front of Hu Yi and turned around to ask. Hu Yi is much older, so he is called Lao Hu.
Hu Yi hesitated for a while: "I want to join the troops to the east and march eastward into the plains!"
"Uh... is this... a deserter!?" Company Commander Chen was dumbfounded. He knew that this decision was stupid and could never be covered up. If investigated afterwards, this decision might ruin the entire Ninth Company: "Why did you make such a stupid decision?"
Company Commander Chen stopped, put his hand on the handle of the pistol at his waist, turned around, looked at Hu Yi for a long time, and finally sighed: "You can't do this, you know, the headquarters is under siege, and as a unit outside the encirclement, reinforcements are necessary , if you go out of the mountains now, have you thought about the consequences?"
"What do you think of the equipment and combat effectiveness of the Ninth Company?" Hu Yi asked without answering, noticing the actions of Company Commander Chen.
"If it's on the plains outside the mountains, it's hard to say, but in the mountains, it's this!" He stretched out his left hand to show his thumb, and kept his right hand on the holster of his gun.
"In that case, shouldn't the Japs think there is a big shot among us?"
"Uh... Logically speaking, this should be the judgment!"
"If we break out of the plains, have a radio station, and serve as the head of the headquarters, do you think there will be any problem?"
"Ah... let me think about it... can you please let me think about it again?" Captain Chen's expression changed, and he lowered his head and slowly squatted down. No matter what, he never expected that Hu Yi's handiwork was so big, far beyond the scope of his thinking. After a while: "The whereabouts of the headquarters radio station are unknown. You have a radio station and you want to make us the headquarters to break out. That's crazy!"
"If you want to do it, do it. If you don't want to, you can take your people away!"
"Do you think the Japanese will believe it? Are they all fools?" Company Commander Chen ignored the contempt in Hu Yi's words.
"Why should I let them believe it? You have been holding back for so long, and your company has been wiped out. The Japanese finally encountered a serious challenge and dared to challenge them. If you are the commander, how do you judge?"
"There must be big fish... there must be big people..." Captain Chen stood up awkwardly. He couldn't say he was a fish, could he?
"If the big fish escapes and there is still a chance to catch those small fish... no matter how many we catch, what's the point? What's more, now we are short of food and ammunition. I don't believe that the Japanese army of tens of thousands of people can survive. Where to go!"
"Tune the tiger away from the mountain?"
"You...can understand it that way!"
"Only this number is about forty? Are you kidding me?" Company Commander Chen was stunned, shaking his head and thinking that this was just bizarre.
"What's the point of using this few people to save a few civil servants, and then most of them will be wiped out by the Japanese?"
"If you let me think about it again, this matter should be left to the superiors to decide!"
"Send the report in clear code, or do you arrange for someone to find the superior? Can you find the superior?"
""
Company Commander Chen was speechless.
This situation can only be determined by the superiors, not by the imagination of him, the commander of the ninth company.
Chen Lien had been on the battlefield for a long time, and his heart was suddenly filled with hope. Although he still doubted that Hu Yi's idea was completely whimsical, even childish. This was a battlefield, not a child's play!
However, this plan is very big! Once successful⋯
This was a difficult decision. As an Eighth Route Army soldier, the order he received was to provide reinforcements. That was a principle that could not be crossed. At the moment, without an order, he had to hesitate to carry out actions that were only guesswork, which was less than 1%.
That is hope, even though it is only a tiny bit of hope! But he had to give up the order he had accepted, and could only comfort himself with nine words: "I will be outside, and I will not accept your order."
His hand unconsciously left the holster.
"Okay, I'll go crazy with you for a while, maybe, this is your life!"
There were people around.
The team began to head south again, with the ghosts lingering behind them.
The mountain road under the moonlight is not easy to walk.
Occasionally gunshots came from behind, and they continued to echo in the valley deep in the mountains under the moonlight.
Keep your feet firm!
⋯
The sound of footsteps came, and the guard woke up the sleeping Captain Lu, yawned, and got out of the marching blanket.
"Report, there is a firefight to the west, about ten miles away!"
Are there any troops breaking out in the west? I quickly pulled out the map and struck a match, but the mountain wind came in through the hole and blew it out.
A flashlight immediately lit up nearby.
"Where did you get it?"
"I captured one during the fight against the Japanese!"
"Well, save it!" After saying that, he traced his fingers along the lines on the map and knitted his eyebrows.
Although it was not clear what the situation was on the map, Commander Lu immediately judged that someone in the west was heading south.
Before dark in the afternoon, a fierce battle broke out in the west. Did someone stand out? The soldiers sent out for reconnaissance have not returned yet.
Even in the middle of the night, the Japanese are still pursuing him, which shows that the target has a good background.
The map alone was not comprehensive, so he raised his head and ordered the guard: "Ask Gao Yidao to come over... uh... also invite the fellow villagers I met in the afternoon!"
after a little while.
"To the west is a deep ditch and cliff. It is impossible to pass directly. The only way is to go south or north!" The young man looked at the few people in the tent. It was the first time to participate in such a meeting. They were all soldiers with long and short guys. The young man looked at the people in the tent. So excited.
"We can either go north or west now. The Japs in the east were so cunning that they even retreated without catching a single hair..." Gao Yida stared at the map of Captain Lu.
"Our position has been exposed, and we will be discovered sooner or later. Only by going further north can we possibly pick up the comrades who have broken through! The risk becomes greater!"
"I also think that the soldiers who were conducting reconnaissance in the afternoon found Japanese troops on the mountain ridge to the north. It is unrealistic to reinforce them now. There is not even a target. There were sporadic gunfire sounds in the west in the afternoon, but one party must be our people. How about we go west? Firstly, we can reinforce the comrades who have broken through, and secondly, if the Japanese are strong, we can retreat south. It should be safer! We will definitely not be surrounded by the Japanese."
"If you're afraid of death, you can find a ravine and be a tortoise!" Commander Lu scolded angrily.
"Why haven't the scouts from the south come back yet? What kind of stuff are the supplementary regiments!" Gao Yidao couldn't see that Jiulian regarded Wang Pengnian as his natal family, so he ridiculed them all.
