The rolling mountains and the pattering autumn rain made walking much more difficult.
But for the officers and soldiers of the Special Agent Company of the First Guard Regiment, this is just a minor problem. After all, this is only a normal intensity during daily training. In addition, they already have sufficient experience in many previous battles. .
"Brothers, work harder! We should be reaching Tongcheng soon!" Liu Houming kept encouraging his men.
"Okay! Work harder!
” Officers and soldiers responded immediately, but the guide who was responsible for leading the officers and soldiers of the special agent company was panting from exhaustion.
"Are you okay? Two brothers." Liu Houming stepped forward and patted the two guides who were also sweating and said.
At this time, everyone in the secret service company looked very embarrassed, because their clothes were already stained with grass seeds, sweat and rain. However, these officers and soldiers still maintained a high spirited state. It seemed that they had been used to this kind of life. .
"Sir, you Central Army troops are too desperate, aren't you? We used to run from this path to Tongcheng, and we were already out of breath from exhaustion. You are still so lively, and you are not killing us. Are you going to die?" As he said that, one of the guides couldn't help it anymore and immediately lay down on the grass next to him. There was nothing he could do, he was too tired...
So the question is, where do these guides come from? Of course they were found by Luo Weimin, the head of the security regiment who was absolutely "loyal" to the people of Pingjiang - as for how to find them, it was also very simple. They probably just searched through their own troops first. Mobilize the peddlers and pawns in the Jianghu.
Fortunately, there are actually two people in Luo Weimin's security team who were traffickers and "come ashore" to become soldiers. Especially these two guys had saved a little money before and often traveled between Pingjiang and Tongcheng. I know that there is a path in the mountains that leads directly to the city.
Ever since, these two "auspicious treasures" without exception have become guides to Tongcheng, and their mission is to lead the officers and soldiers of the special agent company to Tongcheng.
In fact, after witnessing Zhang Tianhai's methods, Luo Weimin was not in the mood to fight Zhang Tianhai. After all, in addition to being a little afraid of death, Luo Weimin also had a patriotic heart.
Of course, the degree of passion of this heart also depends on the situation. When you are confident of winning the battle, you must love to the point where you can't love anymore, and Zhang Tianhai's foresight and excellent strategic vision indicate their future. The odds of winning are not low, and the theater security forces do not seem to have suffered much loss at the hands of the Japanese. All of this is constantly "emboldening" Luo Weimin.
"Then you should take a good rest first. How far is it from Tongcheng?" Liu Houming squatted down and asked the guide.
"Usually we usually walk two and a half days to get there, because this road is remote and not easy to be robbed by robbers. Even if we go a little further, we still have to walk. Now if we keep going like this, we should still be able to get there in half a day's journey. ." The guide gasped.
"Yes, we should be there in half a day." Another guide also said. The two of them joined the security group to serve as soldiers, just to have a gun in hand, so as not to die in an unknown manner.
Of course, most of these soldiers are not very reliable. Once the war starts, most of their legs will run faster than rabbits - because their purpose of coming in is to save their lives, not to drive away the Japanese.
"That's good, we have to get to the destination as soon as possible, and we will do the rest. Don't worry, you won't be given the task of charging into the battle. After all, we are the ones carrying out the task." Liu Houming faced in front of him The two people in front of him said, because he already knew the details of the two people in front of him, and probably would not place high hopes on them.
"Sir, there's something I don't quite understand." The guide who was lying on the ground struggled to get up, his eyes full of doubts. The troops in front of him were very different from their numbers and their behavior. Other troops are different.
"Tell me! If it doesn't violate the principle, I can tell you." Liu Houming said bluntly. As an old man who has been with Zhang Tianhai for so long, he naturally has his own way of doing things.
"Judging from your accent, you must be from the north. Even worse, you are from Shandong. Why did you come to our Hunan side to fight the little devils?" the guide said bluntly. After all, for someone like him who was born as a trafficker and a lackey People probably can’t figure it out.
Liu Houming pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "Yes, I am from Shandong, and I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child. Why did I come here? I should ask those damn little Japanese. Originally, I was just a soldier to make a living. , that's all, but the arrival of Little Japan broke everything about our tranquility. Our troops set out from Shandong to help Shanghai. After a battle in Shanghai, my troops and I were separated. It was a military shelter at that time. They took in the broken soldiers like us. Fortunately, when we grouped the broken soldiers back together and went to the front line, because of my strong physique, I was assigned to the 36th Division of the then Commander Song Xilian and Song. Otherwise, I won’t be able to meet Danza either.”
When they heard Liu Houming telling his story, all the officers and soldiers of the special agent company pricked up their ears and listened. They all wanted to know what Captain Liu had experienced and why he was so highly regarded by the commander-in-chief.
Even the officers and soldiers under his command were like this, not to mention the two guides, who had already pricked up their ears.
At this time, Liu Houming had already entered the memory mode: "The regimental commander at that time was still the battalion commander of the 1st Battalion of the 216th Regiment of the 36th Division. He used his perseverance and wisdom to lead our battalion to repel one after another. One attack, but we also sacrificed too many brothers. People were dying every day, and many of them died before they got to know each other. At that time, the leader only said: "As long as we persist, we can once again repel the attack of Little Japan." Yes, we are dying, and they are dying too”! Our 36th Division fought in Shanghai for three full months. When we left, we were all a group of new faces. We have a bloody feud with the Japs, and we must fight them off. If we suffer, let our generation suffer. If we bleed, let our generation bleed. Don’t let our descendants bleed any more. "
"I followed the regiment from Shanghai to Nanjing. When I arrived in Nanjing, the commander-in-chief had already been promoted to regimental commander. He was also the commander of the first regiment directly under the third theater. For a time, he was very prosperous, but the regiment was evacuating Nanjing. At that time, he did not choose to retreat with his troops, but stayed in Nanjing to kill the Japanese. I also followed Tuan Zao all the way out of Nanjing. If it hadn't been for Tuan Zao, I think I would still feel regretful because We tried our best for the city of Nanjing, and we fought until the last minute." As he spoke, Liu Houming's eyes were filled with tears.
What happened next, even if Liu Houming did not say it, everyone present already knew the answer. It was the barbaric act committed by the Japanese in Nanjing, and the blood of 300,000 people had been drained!
The scene was very depressing for a time.
