"Stop! Password!" A bird chirped in the darkness.
A dozen black figures staggered, startled, and did not dodge the birds: "Are you blind? I just came out of the mountain, what password do you want?"
The whistle at the entrance of the village heard the chirping of birds and quickly lowered the muzzle of the gun. "Ah, are you back? What's going on with the gunfire over there?"
The black shadow slowly stepped forward, dejected. When the sergeant stepped forward, he gave the sentry a big mouth: "Are you laughing at us?"
The Japanese sentry was stunned: He received a slap in the face for no reason. Did he say the wrong thing?
The sergeant rubbed his aching hand: "How many of you are here?"
"There is a squad of Imperial Warriors in the village, plus a company of the Imperial Alliance Army. Didn't your radio say that the vanguard is a squadron?" The beaten sentry quickly answered carefully.
Bang, another beautiful mouth made a loud noise. The sentry was hit so dizzy that a streak of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. He was finally confused. What did he say wrong?
"How many of us do you need to know?"
The sentry still didn't understand where he was wrong and quickly replied: "Yes."
"Take us into the village immediately!"
The sentry stopped opening his mouth, turned around and led these guys into the village, secretly licking the blood into his mouth.
Of course, the vanguard squadron did not have a radio station, and the pigeons they released were roasted and eaten by the Eighth Route Army.
The second lieutenant who received the order from the radio to lead the supply team did not pay attention to the sound of gunfire. During this period of time, gunfire was everywhere in the plain, so he didn't bother to pay attention.
After being woken up, he put on his military uniform and rubbed his eyes: "You are finally here. Now, this place is left to you!"
"No, we encountered an ambush on the way back and need support!" The Japanese Army Cao avoided saying anything about his private escape.
The second lieutenant didn't even hesitate: "It's impossible. One of your squadrons was attacked. Most of us are working as heavy troops and we can't do reinforcements."
"The Tubalu who ambushed us were despicable. They set traps in the village. Most of them used automatic short guns. In the village, the warriors' weapons were restricted, so we suffered a lot!"
"That's your problem. We have to go back overnight to respond. Please go through the handover procedures immediately."
"You cowards, if we are on the plains, the Eighth Route Army is no match for us. Now, I need your reinforcements." The sergeant was very sure that even if the Eighth Route Army had a machine gun, it would not be able to compete with well-trained warriors on the plains.
"The loss is huge? You mean just a few of you will come back? In that case, you should commit suicide by caesarean section first!"
"It's not your turn to care. I want your reinforcements immediately." The sergeant said with a dark face.
"How far is the distance? How many people are there!" The second lieutenant was reluctant. Even though he had a higher military rank, the combat troops and the logistics troops were not the same, otherwise he could have slapped the sergeant in the face before speaking.
"More than thirty miles away, this land is too desolate. I haven't even had a sip of water until now. It's very urgent. Reinforcements are coming now. If we hurry, they can arrive in three hours at most."
The sergeant did not lie. Two hours of marching in broad daylight was no problem, but three hours was possible in the dark. But he ignored that there were security forces in the team!
The sergeant didn't want to rest comfortably because he didn't dare.
The second lieutenant had a dark face and reluctantly pulled out the map. Under the lantern, he slid his finger westward on the map and stopped at Xiaowang Village. He thought carefully for a while and calculated the proportions. It seemed that it was really only about thirty. inside.
The second lieutenant was a little confused: "Why do I feel like there is a problem here? How could a combat squadron of yours be beaten by the Eighth Route Army and only have so few people left? Even if we go and add those useless security forces, do you think it will be useful?"
The sergeant looked ferocious, and he came over and took a look at the map: "We were ambushed and surrounded by the Eighth Route Army in the village. The Eighth Route Army built fortifications in advance, but their combat power has not become stronger. We don't need to enter the village now..."
When the word "entering the village" was mentioned, the sergeant couldn't help but shudder again.
"What do you mean, your squadron is basically wiped out? Then let us reinforce it with the logistics and supplies troops?"
"If you think there is a problem, immediately send someone to ride back to the town to call for reinforcements!"
...
Luo Fugui held the kettle, tilted his neck and drank a few sips of water, then carefully covered it. There was no gritty feeling on his dusty lips: "Are they really here to replenish the dough?"
Tang Dagou pressed a bullet bridge clip into the magazine, pushed the gun bolt up with a clatter, and returned the gun to the Eight Route Army in front of him: "How many people are behind you?"
The soldier finally confirmed that the other party was indeed the 9th Company of the Independent Regiment: "I will go back and inform them that we are a platoon with half the casualties!"
After saying that, he turned around and ran towards the team who were still nervous in the darkness.
"Fox, I think they should be the team that picks up the cadres entering the mountain!" The girl held up the telescope and watched boredly as the soldier disappeared under the stars in the dark night.
The telescope was put into the leather case, and he took out the map and opened it. Luo Fugui next to him immediately turned on the flashlight.
Hu Yi frowned and stood alone at the top of the slope. He looked at the map and answered the girl's question in a calm tone: "The cadre team has entered the mountain. They probably ran into the group of Japanese who escaped in the evening."
The girl was stunned for a moment: "Then, since we don't have anything to do now, it's time to go back."
"That's okay. They suffered a lot of casualties. Let's wait for the people behind them to come up and walk together."
Hu Yi looked up at Platoon Leader Wang, eager to hear their battle process.
Platoon Leader Wang briefly explained the process.
Hu Yi continued: "Are you being chased by three Japs?"
"I didn't expect the Japs to be so good at night fighting. I...at first thought the Japs had one class."
"Okay, if the Japs run away, they will definitely bring troops here, but it will have to wait until midnight at the earliest. There are security forces in the north, and the Japs troops in the west will come out at any time. It is not safe here."
"Um, Captain Hu, do you...do you have any health workers in the team?" Platoon Leader Wang asked.
Hu Yi couldn't help but asked curiously: "Aren't all your wounded soldiers bandaged?"
"No, there is an important person in our team. Before we came out, the political commissar repeatedly told her to protect her. Unexpectedly, she was also injured. Alas, I did not complete the task." Platoon Leader Wang looked frustrated.
Hu Yi's eyes fell back on the long row of stretchers in the darkness behind Platoon Leader Wang, with the lightly wounded still carrying the stretchers.
"Half Immortal, hurry up and help!"
There was a faint sound of horse hooves coming from the west.
From a distance, I saw torches lighting up and making noise.
"Extinguish the torch and take cover!"
"Captain Hu, the situation is not good. On our way back, we saw a large number of Japs in the west. It is probably the Japs from the mountains who have arrived."
"how many people?"
"I don't know. The Japs are holding torches and I can't see the tail. The Japs are coming east now. Ma Liang and the others went south first."
"Turn south immediately. Most of the Japs are coming. The marching speed will definitely not be fast. We must cross the road out of the mountain in front of the Japs."
"Can't we hide here and wait for the Japanese to leave before leaving?" Platoon leader Wang was a little worried because there were too many wounded people in his team, and he might not be able to keep up with the urgent march.
"We set up an ambush with the Japanese in the afternoon. The Japanese will definitely search northward on a large scale after receiving the news. It is safe only to the south of the Japanese."
Banxian ran from the darkness behind: "That Chief Hu, Secretary Su seems to be on a stretcher..."
"What? Which Director Su?" Hu Yi was a little stunned, thinking he heard wrongly, and asked subconsciously.
The half-immortal was surprised: "Well, Su Qing, the former regimental political worker and instructor of our ninth company."
Hu Yi was stunned on the spot.
It just so happened that Luo Fugui had several idle men surrounding him. They usually liked to hang out next to Hu Yi. Even when they saw ants fighting, they would join in the fun. When they heard the half-immortal talking, their eyes widened and they all looked at Hu Yi.
Unexpectedly, Captain Hu Dal reacted and ran away without a trace with a "chang" sound.
The jaws of all the people dropped to the ground, and when they came to their senses, they all ran into the darkness.
The speed of disappearance made Platoon Leader Wang stunned. Is this...the ninth company a rabbit?
When he came back to his senses, he realized that Su Qing was transferred from the Independent Regiment, but he didn't expect that Su Qing was still an instructor in the ninth company.
I seem to have heard that Wang Peng’s company has a squad leader in the Ninth Company of the Independent Regiment. I can’t remember his last name. Everyone in the regiment knows that Lao Qin is an instructor in the Ninth Company. I heard that he actually married into a good husband. Hey, what nonsense are you thinking about? I quickly slapped myself in the mouth.
Didn't it mean that the Japanese were coming from the west, so why didn't they just ignore them?
Platoon Leader Wang felt that the situation was not good, and the Ninth Company Commander KFC decided to leave a reliable person behind. He quickly suggested to Luo Fugui who was staying next to him: "We have to retreat quickly, don't you think?"
In the dark night, the Japanese couldn't be stationed and waiting. They must have been marching all night, and they would find a place to rest after the sun rose during the day.
"Grandma, you are so anxious, let Boss Hu calm down first!" Luo Fugui was a little afraid of Su Qing. He now had a lot of money, so he had to think of a countermeasure first.
Apart from the political commissar of the Independent Regiment, he might be the only one who knows the relationship between Hu Yi and Su Qing best. It might be a lot cooler for the two of them to come together on a hot day.
What Platoon Leader Wang didn't expect was that the messenger in front of him was the platoon leader who married into the Ninth Company of their supplementary regiment.
