Chapter 74 Westward Journey
Ding De stood at the intersection in a daze, looking at the torch. With the crackling sound, the slight red light and pale moonlight shone on Hu Yi's bronze face, constantly changing its shape, forming a shaking shadow on the bushes.
"You want to chase the model leader?"
"According to the Japanese itinerary, they may have known the specific location of the division headquarters."
Ding De looked worried: "Although there are many people in the division headquarters, there are very few combat personnel. Except for the guard company, most of them are civilian personnel and there is no gun!"
"For the unarmed doctors, wounded, and nurses in the hospital, I feel that I must notify the supplementary team." Hu Yi's initial hesitation became firm.
Ding De looked into the distance, under the cold moonlight on the west, there were still dark mountains with a serious expression: "What do you mean is to mobilize troops from local troops to defend the division?"
"If possible, plan as soon as possible!"
"Last year, I received news that the advance team entered the mountain. Originally, everyone thought that the division headquarters was fine in the deep mountains, but local troops were attacked several times in a row, which has aroused the alertness of the division security department. They have made careful preparations and can be transferred at any time."
"The Japanese have touched their doorsteps. The division headquarters is not safe now. So many people and wounded people, where can they move? The Japanese advance into the team without direct action, so there must be other purposes."
"Maybe they are waiting?"
Hu Yi's face changed drastically: "Is it that you are waiting for several directions to attack at the same time?"
"Only a thousand days of being a thief, there is no such thing as defending against a thief for a thousand days. He dares to bully him at all, so he will not think about going back if he is forced to go back!"
"The Japanese disguised themselves as the Eighth Route Army, and they were hard to defend!"
"That means they are not sure. The Japanese made-up attack, and we have no ability to defend ourselves, and we all rely on the advantages of the terrain in the mountains."
"As long as the Japanese troops cannot come up, if they can defend several mountain intersections, the Japanese will not be able to fight in at all." Hu Yi's tone became cold.
"These correspondents will send a letter tomorrow morning, and now we are only three of us? It seems that it won't be of much use."
"I think I can go back to the group to transfer people."
"What's the use of transferring it? Our independent regiment company did not do anything to defend the Japanese and Public Security Army in Meixian. As a result, these Japanese were still trained specifically. If they wanted to deal with this group of advancing teams, it was a dream. You may not know that the Beishan regiment had an absolute advantage, and only after the troops of a company of the Beishan regiment had annihilated a squad of advancing teams, with casualties close to a platoon." Political Commissar Ding's face was gloomy.
"Beishan Regiment? Eliminated a squad of Japanese advancing team?
"Well, what happened a few days ago, according to analysis, there are other teams in the advancing team. The Eighth Route Army you saw may be made of the group of people. They walked west from here. There was the defense area of the Fifth Army Division, so just inform them of the situation."
"I don't think it's that simple. The Japanese went into the mountain but didn't take action. Maybe because they couldn't bring heavy firepower, they didn't take action against the single correspondent on the road. So, their purpose was to reconnaissance. Next, there were two possibilities. Either send planes into the mountain to bomb, but this mountain was hundreds of kilometers. This was unlikely. Unless there were their people to guide them, the second possibility would be to send a letter back, and the Japanese would organize a large number of troops to fight."
"Guide? What is guidance? Uh? Can you guide planes in the mountains? This is unlikely. Taihang Mountains run hundreds of miles, and the Japanese don't have the ability to do this."
"If they reconnaissed the approximate location of the division headquarters and sent the advancing team from the outside of the mountain to the division headquarters, they all found a place to set fire to smoke and guide the Japanese planes, the Japanese did so much, uh... it should be difficult in the mountains."
"Then, as you said, the advance team has the same equipment as us. If the firefight is really exchanged, the Japanese are not able to gain advantage, right?"
"But the Japanese who entered the mountain advanced to the team, unlike the Japanese who usually did, had stronger combat power. They should have been selected and conducted special training."
While talking, two soldiers set fires, one soldier set a whistle to the west, and several people were roasting fire beside the fire. Even in summer, the mountains were full of coolness.
Hu Yi lowered his head: "I think? Catch up with the model regiment and remind them that there is only an advance team in their defense zone."
"What if they don't believe it? Do they have to fake the command of the division headquarters?" The political commissar smiled bitterly. With Hu Yi's personality, it is really possible that such a thing could be done.
Hu Yi stared at the communication soldier next to him and whispered: "I have something to discuss with you, so let's talk about it."
After a while, the soldier shivered, as if he was stared at by a wild beast, and was powerless to refuse. He stood up and followed Hu Yi away from the fire, wandering towards the west, walking taller and lowered his feet, and then looked at Hu Yi's back with resentment.
The warrior didn't even take the dirt on his body: "I know what you are going to say. From my personal point of view, I can't promise you."
"If the safety of the division headquarters is in your hands and you want to sacrifice, what do you do?" In the dark night, Hu Yi's eyes remained silent, staring at the warrior's eyes, his tone was cold.
The soldiers' fierce ideological struggle was almost crying: "Company Commander Hu, I have heard of your name before. The division headquarters commended twice, I believe you!"
The warrior's eyes were firm, although they could not be seen in the dark.
"You find the model group and tell them to strictly prevent all roads entering the mountain and make sure that everything is foolproof."
…
The model leader came out of the division headquarters and was already full of anger. He barely calmed down at the intersection of the three-way road.
Walking westward, thinking about your thoughts, and walking for another period of time is Xiaowang Village. You have to go to your fellow villagers' home to rest for a night, and you can return to the defense zone after walking for another day tomorrow.
The vanguard in front ran back when he was about to approach the village: "Report, there is someone at the entrance of the village in front."
"What are some people afraid of? No one is scary!" the commander laughed and scolded.
There are ordinary villages in the mountains, so it is not surprising that it is normal to encounter Eighth Route militias, and a few people continue to move forward.
"Which part of you are from? Why are you here?" Seeing the sentry at the entrance of the village, the guard squad leader stepped forward to ask.
This road is often walked, and we often met friendly troops in this village. When I remembered what Company Commander Hu said at the Sancha Road intersection, I felt a little alert.
The sentry replied: "We are the 2nd Company of the 2nd Battalion, 1st Regiment of the 6th Brigade, the new organization."
The sentry saw that the other party did not salute, so he saved himself.
"Uh, it's you." The model leader asked behind him: "Is your leader Ding Lin okay?"
"Oh... our regiment commander is very good!" The sentry hesitated and replied.
Model leader: "Thank you for your hard work!" After saying that, he walked towards the village, and the soldiers behind him followed.
When approaching the sentry, two soldiers suddenly moved. One soldier grabbed the gun on the sentry's hand and rotated counterclockwise, allowing the opponent's fingers to penetrate the trigger to escape; in addition, Zhan Tu hugged the sentry's neck and threw it to the ground.
"Hehe, I'm Ding Lin, you are a fool!" The group leader grinned beside him: "Retreat first!"
Suddenly, the man who was pressed by the two soldiers suddenly used both hands. Two eighth-root warriors, big and thick, were lifted up and used both feet to force them. The two soldiers were kicked to the grass on the side of the road.
Bang, a bullet drilled into the chest of the thin sentry on the ground.
Commander Ding blew the Yuyan at the muzzle: "Retreat."
Three-way intersection.
The gunshots came from far away from the west, echoing in the valley, and it felt like they were not far away.
Hu Yi looked up at the dark valley to the west, and could not see anything.
Soon, the political commissar and several other soldiers stood up from the fire, and arrived at the intersection of the three-way road, and the soldiers who were guarding in front ran back from the west.
When I arrived at Hu Yi, I got closer and lowered my voice: "Company Commander Hu, Political Commissar Ding, and the gun was fired in the west. I think it might be the model commander and others. Could it be that they met the people you mentioned?"
"You, now you go back to the division headquarters, you are heading east now, find the nearest troops and come to reinforce immediately!" Hu Yi no longer hesitated and ordered the two correspondents.
The two correspondents looked at each other and wondered whether to execute the order of the company commander in front of them.
Bang bang bang bang, the gunshots in the west became fierce.
