Holding the steel gun in his hand, facing the biting cold wind, and stepping on the slippery ice surface, the soldiers walked forward step by step. Even if someone fell down, they would get up as soon as possible and continue moving forward.

The main force of the 386th Brigade was about to cross the river. The wooden bridges added up by the engineering battalion were left to the baggage troops carrying heavy objects, and to the artillery troops pulling mountain cannons, infantry cannons, and carrying shells.

As for the infantry, the river is wide and the ice is thick, so where can we not cross the river?

"Comrades, go here, the ice is thick here, follow me..." The comrades in the Engineering Battalion were very responsible, and found the most suitable place to cross the river on the river surface, and took the soldiers of the Second Battalion of the Guerrilla Brigade with them.

We should walk across the river first.

"Okay, just build a position! Second Company Commander, go to the Mubanqiao and see if our ammunition is coming?" After crossing the river, Second Battalion Commander Jia Xuefeng directed the Second Battalion of the Guerrilla Brigade to establish river defense fortifications, guarding the surrounding area.

"Comrades, are you cold? If anyone is cold, there is chili water and brown sugar ginger water here, it will still be hot!" On the side of the river, Chef Fan and the comrades from the cooking team cooked several large pots of chili water.

He and brown sugar ginger water were handed to the soldiers who were trembling with cold.

"One, two, three...work harder...one, two, three...pull cannons...one, two, three...fight the Japanese...one, two, three...protect my hometown..." This is the artillery battalion that has just been formed

Comrades, pulling their beloved mountain cannons across the river.

Unlike the infantrymen who were trembling with cold, they were all warm, and some soldiers even had heat on their bodies... Well, it was a pleasure to shoot artillery for a while, and they were tired of pulling artillery, and the artillerymen did not have cars to carry them.

When I have it, I'm relatively tired...

"The scenery of the north is frozen thousands of miles away, snow falls thousands of miles away. Looking at the Great Wall, there are only the vastness inside and outside, and the river is surging..." The brigade commander was wearing a leather jacket, and he also put on a Japanese military coat outside, and he was leaning on a cane in his hand.

I slowly walked across the river, and was still muttering a poem.

"That's so cold! Comrades, we're cold, the Japanese are cold too! But the Japanese have cotton coats on them, but many of our comrades don't! What should I do? Then find the Japanese, beat them to death, and put their cotton

Take off the coat and let’s put it on!”

Well, the brigade commander is a more elegant person, but his subordinate Commander Li... Forget it, this will be the case in his life...

The weather is getting colder, and the Eighth Route Army has not enough cotton coats, and some soldiers can only wear single clothes and uniforms...that is another army. The 386th Brigade is much better, at least not wearing single clothes. They have won twice and annihilated all of them.

There are more than a thousand Japanese devils (Xiangchenggu is more than 250, and Xiao Li's family is more than 800 when they are twice).

These Japanese not only provided more than a thousand weapons and ammunition to the 386th Brigade, but also provided more than a thousand clothes for everyone! Not to mention anything else, just military coats are more than a thousand pieces! Three of them are the ones who are at the top!

The coat of the officer's army was shared by the brigade commander, political commissar and chief of staff...

The remaining military coats and shoes were not needed, the comrades of the guerrilla brigade said they didn't need it. Because under their camouflage training uniforms, there were thick cotton coats, and even one person had a cotton cloak in sheepskin placed in his backpack, his feet

There are also thousands of layers of cotton shoes on it, and the inner layer of sheepskin with wool inside.

Well, with the back of the arsenal and Jiuzhai, the guerrilla brigade's equipment is the best among the Eighth Route Army and the best clothing...

The comrades in the guerrilla brigade did not need it, so the clothes were distributed to other troops. For example, Li Yunlong and Zhao Fengnian all got a cotton coat worn by the Major officer. Some soldiers did not get a cotton coat, but were assigned to cashmere worn by the Japanese inside.

Clothing like shirts.

If it's so cold that it can't stand it? Those crotch-wrapped cloths can block the wind... but the smell is not very good.

Well, just kidding, the 386th Brigade is not too poor to use a loincloth to block the wind. Although some soldiers wear thin clothes, they do not get frozen.

Thousands of people crossed the river, and the time lasted for more than two hours. The reason is that everyone is afraid that the river surface cannot bear too many people, and there is no large-scale concentrated crossing of the river. They are lined up with sparse teams to cross the river surface.

.

After crossing the river, the main force did not continue to march, but waited by the river, waiting for the comrades in the engineering battalion to demolish the wooden bridge and then continue to move forward.

Of course, the new group that led the way had already advanced for a distance under the leadership of Li Yunlong.

This time, the 772nd Regiment did not follow the brigade headquarters and I don’t know where to go. As the new regiment that replaced the 771st Regiment, it has become a trump card under the brigade commander. As for the 688th Regiment, they will eventually go back to the 115th Division, and

The 115th Division is rushing over under the leadership of the Commander Chen...

Li Yunlong led his troops forward, but the guerrilla brigade became the brigade commander's guard force, and Lao Li had no objection to this.

The Guerrilla Brigade was here to train soldiers with the Japanese. Now, after two battles between Xiangchenggu and Xiaolijiazhuang, the recruits have also seen death and know what the war is like. Now they are silent for two days.

.

The key is that whether it is Li Yunlong or Wang Zhengmeng, they all think that putting the guerrilla brigade in the brigade headquarters and the brigade headquarters will be safer! In particular, the Japanese like to play small groups of troops interspersed with combat to attack our command system.

If these are interspersed with small troops and encounter our guerrilla brigade? Haha, it will be lively...

The small group of Japanese people interspersed with each other did not meet them. Everyone went to Panzhuang Town east of Weihe that night to correct the situation. On the 14th, they received a telegram from the division headquarters: to go to the northeast of Guan County to gather and standby, so the team continued to set off.

On the night of the 13th, when the main force crossed the Wei River, the Japanese still stayed at Xiao Lijiazhuang and even stationed in the village.

That's right, after the Japanese bombed the village, they did not find the figure of the guerrillas, so they simply left some of the Japanese in the village to live. Did the Japanese lose their vigilance? Wrong, they stayed here to dig the ground.

Three feet, find out where the tunnel is.

Of course, this is just the Japanese's temporary plan, and it is the same as Li Yunlong's grappling with rabbits. Their main goal is to fight the 386th Brigade. During the day, they did not find the militia here, but instead lost more than 100 losses.

The devils are here, so naturally they cannot give up.

Therefore, Xida Tiao Pang took away the main convoy and continued to chase the 386th Brigade to the east, but left a squadron of the Japanese here to continue to trouble the militia. Can't find it? This squadron will go west to guard Qiu County.

After all, there are also troops stationed in Qiu County, and dozens of Japanese soldiers cannot defend the county town.
Chapter completed!
