The moon has set in the west.
The sky in the east has turned white.
The disgraced Gao Yidao and his men retreated up the eastern ridge in embarrassment.
He held up his binoculars and looked into the valley, gritting his teeth: "If you stop the Japanese for one night, if they still can't escape, they have nothing to do with me!"
The first company commander even lost his military cap. Knowing who the battalion commander was talking about, he reminded: "Battal Commander, the squad we assigned should have sent someone to report the news an hour ago..."
"You mean they didn't come? Could it be that we retreated too fast to the north and they didn't catch up?"
"The outer security posts did not detect them..."
"What have you been doing? Send a squad...a platoon to find..."
The first company commander rolled his eyes. He was having a fierce fight with the Japanese just now, and you kept saying that the troops were insufficient. Besides, didn't you just get the news? Why don't you refute it and hurry up to make arrangements...
Gao Yidao told Kuaiji next to him: "Hurry up and count the casualties..."
As soon as Kuai Li ran away, the security sentry in the north hurriedly ran to Gao Yidao: "Report to the battalion commander that reinforcements from the guerrilla detachment are coming..."
Following the direction pointed by the correspondent, Gao Yidao could clearly see that a large group of figures were coming from the north.
Old sleeves, muskets, red-tasseled guns, broadswords, and all kinds of clothing, almost all of them unpatched...
Is this coming for reinforcements or to fight against the autumn wind?
Gao Yidao was a little speechless. He had been blocking him for nearly a whole night, but you came at dawn.
It's okay to come and watch the excitement, but to fight the autumn breeze, the Second Battalion has been chased away by the Japanese and has almost no chance to clean up the battlefield!
The troops were lost and a lot of guns were lost.
Now in the valley, it is possible to pick up some odds and ends that the Japanese do not want.
Seeing the tall soldier leading him staring at him closely, Team Song quickly stepped forward and frowned: "Battle Commander Gao, right? Hello, my surname is Song..."
"Captain Song?" The captain of the detachment is at the regiment level. He looks down upon him, but he must not break the rules. Gao Yidao quickly saluted: "Hello, you are..."
"A group of Japs are coming from the north, and our detachment is splitting up to break out..."
"Can you please be more careful?"
Although the opponent was a second-rate independent regiment, Haoda was also the battalion commander of the main force. Moreover, the opponent had the Japanese tightly entangled in this area, so the detachment all broke out to the southeast. Therefore, the Song detachment did not mean to speak in a high-handed way. : "The Japanese troops who originally surrounded the ninth battalion of the Independent Regiment turned north. The Japanese troops in the west of the canyon went up the mountain ridge and their movements were unknown. The puppet troops in the east were advancing on our troops overnight. If you hadn't blocked the Japanese troops here all night, you would have said Maybe we have been surrounded by the Japanese..."
"Then why don't you leave quickly? What are you doing here?"
Captain Song shook his head: "If the sky looks up, the Japanese will attack us if they free their hands. We can't stay here any longer..."
Gao Yidao was a little confused after hearing this. He pulled out the map and looked at it for a while in the dim morning light. He didn't see the reason. He raised his head and curled his lips: "Who is the target of the Japanese?"
"According to the instructions conveyed by superiors, the Japanese did not have a clear target this time. Instead, they adopted wheel sweep tactics across the entire southern mountainous area. The ultimate goal is still our division headquarters!"
Gao Yidao changed the topic: "The Ninth Battalion of the Independent Regiment, which was surrounded by Japanese soldiers, how are they doing now?"
"I just got the news. They should have broken through. The guerrillas have arranged for militiamen to help them carry the wounded. The traffic officer doesn't know the specific situation."
"Already broke through? Then I was still here worrying about it for most of the night..." Gao Yidao laughed at himself.
After saying that, he turned around and asked the first company commander: "Has the platoon you arranged to find people gone?"
"Just leave!"
"You immediately gather the troops, leave one platoon behind, and the others will carry the wounded and leave eastward with the guerrilla detachment..."
The first company commander was stunned for a moment and heard something in Gao Yidao's words: "What about you?"
"I'll take your platoon to the south to see..."
"That won't work. You lead the team and I'll go to the south..."
"I took over this job. It's not your turn to worry about it, so get out of here..."
"I asked the second company commander to go with you..."
...
The sky is getting brighter.
"The gunshots in the valley to the south have been ringing since the rooster crowed three times, and they haven't stopped until now..." The peripheral security sentry reported to Gao Yidao, who had just arrived.
"what's going on?"
"Earlier, the third squadron sent someone to report that about a battalion of puppet troops was found in the south. The correspondent never came back after he returned!"
"Go over and have a look!" Gao Yidao strode southward along the top of the mountain ridge. The second company commander behind him quickly arranged to cut off the rear and lead the troops.
The vanguard squad trotted past Gao Yidao and headed south quickly.
The sound of gunshots and explosions became increasingly clear.
The valley three miles away was filled with smoke.
"Report, there is someone on the ridge!" The leading soldier who arrived first lay down on a small high ground on the ridge.
Gao Yidao led a long team and began to lie down behind the high ground.
Gao Yidao waved to the leading soldiers: "Continue to scout forward... We must find the squad that is left behind..."
"Could it be that they were at war with the puppet troops?" asked the second company commander next to him.
Gao Yidao pulled out the telescope and was not angry at all: "The terrain of the valley is flat, with just some rocks and shrubs. It is completely undefendable. Do you think your squad can stop a battalion of puppet troops...or a squad of yours can do it?" Can you pass a company...even a platoon?"
"Fighting head-on in the dark, even a squad of puppet troops can give us a fight..." The second company commander shrank his neck: "Unless squad three has already received friendly forces..."
Gao Yidao looked to the west with his telescope and suddenly screamed: "*&@#..."
The second company commander next to him was startled: "Batalion Commander, are you crazy?"
Gao Yidao laughed so loudly that he almost stopped breathing. He threw the telescope in his hand to the second company commander next to him, raised his hand and pointed at the valley...
The second company commander was stunned for a moment and put down Cao Changjing in his hand.
He held up the telescope thrown by the battalion commander.
In the smoke of gunpowder everywhere, the two teams were fighting inextricably in the valley.
The fighting position between the two sides was close to the foot of the west mountain, which just divided the valley into two.
The firefighting position is divided into three larger areas from north to south.
Both sides appear to be on the defensive...
The second company commander was a little confused: "Could it be that our reinforcements have arrived?"
Gao Yidao next to him stared at the smoke: "Look carefully at their military uniforms!"
"Some of the ones close to us look like friendly troops, and some look like puppet troops. The ones to the west can't be seen clearly..."
"You can't see clearly...can't you see they are firing cannons? Look at the plaster flag on the ridge opposite..."
Artillery shells continued to explode on the eastern position, so naturally it was the team on the west that fired the artillery! The second battalion commander nodded: "Batalion Commander, do you think it's possible that friendly forces are fighting with the Japs?"
"Hey, isn't it worth being happy if friendly troops are fighting against the Japanese?" Gao Yidao laughed until his stomach ached.
"Our main task this time is to respond to friendly forces. Now they seem to be almost unable to bear it. What should we do?"
"Hey, let them bite like dogs for a while, and then we can go over when they can't support it anymore!"
"But, there are so many enemies... we only have one platoon?" the second company commander reminded, if he had known better, he should have brought his half of the company over!
What's wrong with a platoon? We can't go down on the mountain ridge. If they fall in love, they can come up. If they don't fall in love, what does it have to do with me?
"Isn't there someone on the top of the mountain ahead? Why don't we go over there first and take a look!"
"Go ahead, don't tell me I'm here yet..." Gao Yidao waved his hand, pulled back the telescope, and continued watching the show.
Situations like this don't happen often!
In his opinion, if the west side of the valley is occupied by Japanese soldiers, then the east side of the valley is naturally filled with friendly forces.
It seems that there shouldn't be any difficulty in cooperating with the friendly army's staff this time...
When they are almost done fighting... I will go over and get in touch with the people they left on the mountain ridge.
How interesting is this?
The second company commander, who led a squad south, knew what the battalion commander was thinking.
Last night, when he blocked the Japs, one-third of his men suffered casualties and a lot of equipment was lost. He felt very depressed. Watching the friendly troops in the valley having a good fight with the Japs, he felt very excited. His complicated mood made him look grim at times and smile at others. .
After climbing up a hill, he immediately saw Ma Liang waiting in front of him with his arm hanging in a bandage. The second company commander raised his hand and winked. Did he see a ghost so early in the morning?
The vanguard squad who had gone over first was standing on the side. It took him a while to come back to his senses. He raised his finger and pointed at Ma Liang, his mouth trembling: "Why are you here?"
"Haha, I also want to ask, why are you here?"
The second company commander finally came to his senses and immediately turned to look at the squad leader: "Why don't you report back?"
The squad leader cried sadly: "Tang Dagou won't let us leave..."
The second company commander looked at the big dog with a dark face, "What do you mean?" "
The big dog's dirty face that had not been washed for eight hundred years shook and smiled: "Why the hell didn't your Second Company leave a squad here... There must be someone to carry a stretcher for them, right?"
The second company commander's expression became calm: "What's going on at the foot of the mountain?"
"Why the hell don't you have eyes?"
