"I am going to arrange for you to escort them," Captain Li continued, "Also, your wife is inconvenient now and it is not suitable to stay at the front line, so she also went to the rear."
"Okay then." Su Yuan responded: "I will escort them back immediately."
"No, you also have to stay in the military region temporarily." Captain Li explained: "The military region is currently conducting training. This is a learning opportunity for our commanders. You go and participate."
"What's there to learn from this?" Su Yuan muttered.
"You, haven't you always wanted to learn the combat policy of our Eighth Route Army? This is an opportunity only available to commanders above the middle level." Commander Li's words revealed his intention to train Su Yuan.
"Yes, I obey the order." Su Yuan responded immediately after hearing this.
Su Yuan led the brothers in the class to escort the recruits to the military area. Although many places along the way were occupied by the Japanese, they were helped by militia and guerrillas along the way. They avoided the Japanese blockade and gradually approached the Taihang Mountains.
There were mostly low hills in this area, and the wide river channels had been occupied by summer floods. They had no choice but to move along a large valley. At noon that day, they rested in a mountain col.
Su Yuan made a tour and gave some instructions to Li Zhuang and others before coming to Yu Qing's side. "Are you tired?" Su Yuan asked with concern.
"Nothing." Yu Qing replied.
"It's not far from my home. How about I send someone to take you there?" Su Yuan couldn't help but said when he saw that her face was flushed with exhaustion.
"Unless you go with me." Yu Qing said.
"Then I'll have to look for opportunities in the future." Su Yuan is now inseparable. At this time, he misses his family very much and wonders what's going on at home. Have the Japanese taken over the place?
"Company Commander, Huzi has discovered the situation." Xiaowu walked over quickly and reported.
"What's going on?" Su Yuan asked immediately.
"He just made a hostile gesture. We don't know the situation yet," Xiao Wu reported.
Su Yuan looked up and saw Huzi lying on a hill not far away. Without seeing Huzi gesturing to them, Su Yuan had already heard the gunshots coming from the other side of the hill.
"Li Zhuang, take everyone out of here immediately. You walk along the ravine, and I'll go take a look." Su Yuan ordered Li Zhuang, picked up his gun and ran towards the hill alone.
"Brother, there are more than a dozen devils chasing a few common people." Seeing Su Yuan approaching, Huzi quickly explained the situation.
"Go and have a look." Su Yuan said and ran forward.
The two came to the hill. Su Yuan looked around. At the foot of the hill was a narrow path winding through the hills. Just two or three hundred meters away from him, there were four or five people dressed as ordinary people hurriedly walking.
While running, Su Yuan saw that they were actually carrying a stretcher. At the same time, Su Yuan saw that these people did not look like ordinary people. They also had guns on them.
Just a hundred or ten meters away from their door, seven or eight Japanese soldiers were chasing them and firing continuously. The pursuers were carrying a stretcher and they were not running fast. The Japanese soldiers were gradually approaching.
Suddenly, the pursuer stopped. The person on the stretcher seemed to be unwilling to injure his companions, so he actually rolled off the stretcher. They were a little panicked for a while, and the gunman began to shoot back to cover, but it was not enough to withstand the enemy.
, I see it is getting more and more critical.
"Huzi, have a good time." Su Yuan said and raised his gun. No matter who the person being chased was, as long as he was fighting with the Japanese, Su Yuan was duty-bound to rescue him.
It was Huzi's first time to participate in a battle. Seeing that he only had two people, he felt uncertain but filled with hatred for the Japanese, so he immediately raised his gun.
The Japs never expected that there would be attackers on the side hills, but they didn't pay attention at first when they heard the sparse gunshots, and Su Yuan was aiming at the Japs behind him. The Japs allocated manpower to suppress Su Yuan and the others.
The Japs at the front continued to pursue, but they soon realized that something was wrong.
