An officer in his late thirties stood upright, wearing a gray military cap, but there was no cap badge, just two black buttons, one of which was close to the cap, and the other was leaning crookedly, ready to escape at any time.

The weather-beaten face between the brows under the brim of the hat, the wide leather belt around the waist is tightly tied, and the straps are also tightly tied, everything looks so neat and simple, the military demeanor permeates the whole body, but the fly in the ointment is: there is no defect in the whole body.

Looking tired and covered in mud, the soldiers following him stopped in the same way as him. Nearly half of the soldiers stood there and fell asleep.

The wine station is not a big place, and more than 100 people came at once, and it was quite crowded even when I was standing there.

Lao Qin, who had just arranged the number of injured and supplies, and was about to lie down for a while, was overjoyed when he got the news. He rushed to the village entrance under the sign of Jiuzhan Village. He looked at Wang Penglian in front of him. He should have told Wang Peng that the commander's order was to immediately

Go east out of Lushuipu and connect with Jiulian.

But looking at those soldiers who were unable to stand still, how could they move forward? The friendly company was his mother's family, and the emperor was not afraid of hungry soldiers, so he quickly sent people to the other side of the river to recruit some cooks.

Wang Xiaosan's cooking team was requisitioned by Commander Lu, so he had to have breakfast to drive these natal family members away.

Now that the militiamen were basically out of the mountains, Sun Cui took on the task of receiving Wang Pengnian without hesitation, and all the people in the village, young and old, came out.

There was no room at the wine station, and the ground was so wet that it was impossible to sleep. Most of the soldiers followed them to the other side, entered the sheds, and fell asleep. Fortunately, it was summer, and they would not catch a cold without a quilt.

After arranging Wang Penglian's soldiers, Qin You led the yawning Captain Wang to his wooden house. Wang Peng didn't notice him at all. After entering, he grabbed a glass of water and drank it hard: "When Xiao Bing arrived at our place, he said that Commander Lu would let him

We came here, we are so anxious, what happened?"

Lao Qin filled the cup with water and said, "It's like this. We went out of the mountains a few days ago and..."

As soon as he started his third sentence, Qin You's broken wooden bed heard the sounds of people falling to the ground, followed by thunderous snoring.

Qin You knew that it was unrealistic for them to continue their journey at this time. It was two or three days' journey. Xiao Jia went over to notify Wang Peng and gathered over after getting the news. They didn't waste a moment. It was still raining today. Oh my God, they had a whole day.

Came here overnight.

Sighing, Wang Peng loosened his leggings, took off his wet top, and then pulled up the thin quilt to cover his chest and abdomen.

The matter was not over yet. As soon as he left the house, he received a report from the sentry: Lao Niu led the regiment's security platoon, health team, and cooking team to the wine station. He and Wang Penglian worked in tandem, the same formation, the same conversation, Lao Niu

Squeezed next to Wang Peng, the snoring of the two of them was high and low, one after another, one after another.

It has to be said that the health soldiers walked slowly, and this time they arrived at the wine station with a hand on their backs. The girls, who had never been to a wine station before, had no time to appreciate the different scenery at the wine station in the morning, so they devoted themselves to treating the wounded.

I went to work and came very timely.

Lao Qin didn't understand. Didn't everyone say that the girls' physical strength was not good? How could these female comrades still have so much energy when they all came from Dabeizhuang? Instead, they looked like eggplants beaten by the frost.

Report: "Another one came from the north, it seems to be Pan Zhuzi from the third company."

The Independent Regiment, except Gao Yidao 2nd Company, has all come to the ninth station, but it seems that they will arrive sooner or later. With the addition of the brothers, the division headquarters may have to move here one day.

Fortunately, this was not the first time to receive so many comrades. Instructor Qin, who was also so tired that he almost collapsed, had to brace himself and once again arranged for the troops of the third company to rest first.

The difference is that Pan Zhuzi did not collapse on Lao Qin's shabby bed. If he had been like that, he probably would have died on that bed.

"Report, the company commander is leading the team behind, we can run faster and go to the front. Where is the regiment commander?"

"Oh, the leader is outside the mountain, can you still leave?"

"Hey, I can walk, but comrades may not be able to walk. What kind of mission is it? Is it so urgent?"

"Then you'd better take a rest first. Comrades have driven such a long way in succession. It's useless to go up again. When Company Commander Wang gets up later, he will tell you that there are so many wounded soldiers. You wait first. I have to wait.

Go take care of it."

He didn't tell Pan Zhuzi, so he didn't think much about it. The three of them said it, and one of them said that he would have to say it again later. He didn't know how much trouble it would take. Lao Qin himself was about to fall down from exhaustion, so he steeled himself.

I also traveled a day and two nights, but fortunately I was getting stronger and could hold on.

The mountainous peaks, green mountains and floating water, and the narrow valley scenery are like a hundred-mile gallery. The stream flows through the mountains and broken walls, like a waterfall hanging in the air, thundering for thousands of miles. The hazy distant mountains are covered with a layer of gauze, and the shadows are vague, far and near in the misty clouds and smoke.

, Ruojiruoli. Like a few strokes of light ink, smeared on the blue sky.

In the mountain stream, a team was marching slowly, with one person at the head, two people in the middle, and two other soldiers carrying rifles following closely behind.

The group of people were all wearing gray hats and gray military uniforms. The uniforms of the first and last two people were torn and sewn with patches of different colors. Their gray leggings and rag shoes were covered with mud and wet with dew.

There are two people in the middle, one man and one woman. The man is team leader Zheng, and the woman is Su Qing.

Team leader Zheng was in front, holding a shell gun and a stick in his hand. There were many snakes in the mountains, so he had to beat the ground as he walked. Su Qing was behind, with his left hand free and his right hand holding a small but very small stick.

A sturdy wooden stick.

There are not many people walking this mountain road, and the ground is covered with grass.

More than ten days ago, one was the investigator and the other was the person under investigation, but now they are friendly forces.

The two soldiers following behind were the soldiers responsible for the security. Since the two regiments were basically on the same route, the original plan was to arrange for four soldiers to escort them separately, but it was changed to three, carrying rifles on their backs, and one carrying two grenades.

Taking this route, Team Leader Zheng didn't count it as a smooth trip. It took almost three days to walk, and he took a detour to replenish the group and then go to Qingshan Village to Dabeizhuang. His idea was very simple, to learn more about the situation of the independent group.

Several people had sleepy looks on their faces. They must have been on their way since dawn, and they had been walking for at least three or four hours.

It had just rained and the mountain road was a bit slippery. The group was not in the mood to appreciate the surrounding scenery. They stayed in the mountains every day and saw the same thing.

The rugged mountain path was uneven, and there was a cliff next to it. I didn't dare to look at it, and it made my heart go crazy when I saw it, so the group walked cautiously.

Even though the road is full of weeds, the mud on the feet is getting thicker and thicker. After walking for a while, you have to find a wider place to remove the mud with branches, leaving only two straw ropes tied to the shoes.

After walking for a while, the path finally became gentle and we were out of the danger zone of the narrow valley. Based on our memory, we knew that there should be a small village ahead. A few people breathed a sigh of relief. After passing this section, the rest of the road was fine.

Walked too much.

The village is looming in the mist, and the water in the kettle has long been empty. Mountain springs are everywhere on the roadside. Su Qing has no habit of drinking raw water. In the village ahead, if you want hot water, you have to pass here every time you come here. She has

I'm used to adding a pot of hot water here.

The Eighth Route Army had a requirement not to drink raw water, although it was very difficult to enforce it.
