"Company commander, this trip won't be easy for us." A platoon leader on horseback spoke to another officer on a war horse.
"We will run back after we deliver the things to the ground. What does the rest of the matter have to do with us?" the company commander said disapprovingly.
"That's what the company commander said." The platoon commander responded quickly.
This is a cavalry company on the march, and he has a special mission to go to Chifeng, Jehol Province.
The Japanese army launched the September 18th Incident and first occupied the three eastern provinces, namely Heilongjiang, Jilin, and Liaoning.
But nowadays, when the above three provinces are mentioned, they are not called the three northeastern provinces or the three east provinces, but now they are called the four east provinces.
The fourth province of the four eastern provinces is Rehe Province.
The name of Rehe Province comes from the famous Chengde Summer Resort in China.
The hot springs in the villa flow into the Wuli River. The downstream part of the Wuli River in Chengde River does not freeze even in the cold local climate in winter because there is always steam transpiration, so it is called Rehe.
As the old saying goes, if the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, if the skin is gone, the hair will be gone. The three eastern provinces have been lost. The Japanese army is now planning to attack Jehol Province, and now there is a trend of large-scale attacks.
Just a few days ago, the Japanese army first captured Suizhong and then occupied the Jiumen Great Wall pass north of Shanhaiguan.
This has blocked the retreat route of the Chinese army in Rehe Province. But now their company is ordered to move northwest. Everyone can think that it is safe to retreat to the pass or to the passes of the Great Wall at this time. , who wouldn’t worry about going in the opposite direction?
"Company commander, the ninth gate was lost so quickly. Didn't you say there was a regiment there?" the platoon leader asked again.
"When the Japanese attacked Beida Camp, we still had tens of thousands of troops!" The company commander snorted.
The rank of officer is overwhelming, not to mention that the company commander is always strong. The platoon leader knew that he could not say anything else. If he said anything else, the company commander would not be nice to hear.
But when he stopped talking, there was a noise in front of him.
At this time, the company's cavalry was going around a hill. No one, whether it was the company commander or the platoon commander, knew what was going on ahead, so the two men urged the horses forward.
After turning around the hill, the company commander and platoon commander saw one of their men on horseback talking to a dozen soldiers standing on the ground, and they just took a glance. They discovered that the dozen soldiers were not from their company.
"What's going on if you don't hurry up and hurry up?" the company commander shouted loudly as he approached.
He began to carefully look at the people standing on the ground, and then he came to the conclusion that these dozen people were defeated troops.
His body was full of the color of Zhengchen, with rifles, cannons, and machine guns, long and short weapons, and the people were all tall, short, fat, and thin. There were even two guys wearing Japanese yellow woolen coats!
Although they were talking to their soldiers, they couldn't hide the slackness on their faces.
"Report to the company commander, they are asking for food from us." A soldier on horseback reported to him.
"You want food from us?" The company commander was surprised, and then looked at the defeated soldiers with his eyes.
"Sir, we don't want food, we want food in exchange!" At this time, a thin soldier standing underground said.
"Fuck, what we eat is not brought by the strong wind. Why should we give you a few defeated soldiers?" The company commander said disdainfully.
He spoke with a proud air, as if the words came from his nose rather than from his mouth.
"Reporting to the company commander, I said the same thing.
I asked them to exchange flower machine boxes and cannons with us, but they refused and insisted on using the two shabby yellow woolen coats in exchange for us. "His soldiers reported again.
"I have official duties and don't have time to quarrel with you. If you want food, just bring me guns in exchange, otherwise you will starve! Let's go!" The attitude of the company commander was much tougher than that of his soldiers.
"Hey!" What else did the thin soldier say? But he was stopped by a veteran in his forties next to him.
Ben Xunsi also knew that he was the company commander. How could the company commander not be able to speak well? They had better stop making themselves uncomfortable.
"Company commander, wait a minute, I have an idea." At this time, the platoon commander following the company commander spoke.
"Huh?" The company commander stopped when he was about to shake the reins.
“You don’t want to exchange a gun for it, you still want food.
Well, let's go to Chifeng. You follow us all the way and are responsible for feeding our horses, and we are responsible for giving you food. What do you think? "The platoon leader said again.
The platoon leader's words stunned the dozen or so soldiers standing there.
They looked at each other, and when they were about to discuss something, the company commander spoke again: "There's so much nonsense! Let's go!"
What is a company commander? When a company commander is in an army, he is like the emperor of a country in ancient times. His words are like making a hole with his spit, so the cavalry mobilizes.
"Hey, sir, we agree!" At this time, the older veteran shouted quickly.
Logically speaking, the person who made the decision should be the company commander, but the platoon commander saw that the company commander didn't say anything and already urged his horse forward.
So he pointed to several carriages in the team and said: "Get in the carriage and get them some food." Then he urged the horse to drive away his company commander.
Now that the two sides had reached a consensus, the dozen or so skirmishers ran towards the carriages.
"Get off!" But they hit a snag when they rushed to the first carriage. The soldiers on the carriage wouldn't let them get on at all!
"All your officers have given way!" A stout man among the skirmishers said angrily.
"Go to whoever lets you get in!" the soldier on the carriage said in a very arrogant tone.
"You-" The skirmisher who was about to get into the car looked back and saw that the two officers who had just spoken had already ridden ahead.
You must know that this team is a cavalry, and the slowest one is the four carriages.
They couldn't be taken in and told to give them food. They were either riding in carriages or riding horses, but they were marching on foot. So why were they following?
When the sturdy man among the defeated soldiers wanted to say a few more words, other soldiers on the carriage pointed back impatiently.
"Tiger pillar! Get in the carriage at the back!" said the thin soldier from before.
So these defeated soldiers rushed to the carriage behind.
This time, the carriage at the back did not say that they would not be allowed to get on, but there were several soldiers sitting on each carriage, and they could not all squeeze into the carriage. The more than ten people were divided into three carriages. .
The entire cavalry company was already on the march, and the horses pulling the carriage were trotting. It couldn't be said that they were cavalry. It was not a difficult task to jump onto the marching carriage.
Several soldiers rushed to the second carriage. One of them, a thin soldier who was about 16 or 17 years old, was pulled by an older soldier in the car when he was getting into the car.
After the soldier climbed onto the carriage. He also knew something was wrong, he just opened his mouth and said: "Thank you, uncle!"
The remaining people ran to the third carriage, and a few more people climbed on top.
And the stout man who spoke in a husky voice could only run for the last carriage with several other companions.
How about saying that people are different.
Even though we all met by chance, they were all members of the Northeast Army. But when someone in the front saw them, they stretched out their hands to give them a hand, while the soldier behind the cart smiled slyly and suddenly gave the horse a whip.
Just in time, the stout man stretched out his hand and pressed the car board and jumped up to sit on the car.
But he never expected that the carriage would speed up, and he would get into the rearmost position - the rear of the carriage.
So he sat down as soon as possible, but sat directly on the snow.
With a "coax" sound, everyone who saw this scene laughed as long as they were not the group of defeated soldiers.
But the defeated soldiers who finally climbed onto the carriage did not laugh, and they were also Shang Zhen's group.
It was Shang Zhen who first dealt with this group of cavalry.
The man in his forties who agreed to go with this group of cavalry was Mr. Wang.
The sixteen or seventeen-year-old who climbed onto the second carriage was a small dustpan, while the one who was tricked and broke a big butt was a tiger pillar.
