The officers and soldiers were all anxiously waiting for the supplies to arrive. However, another hour passed and no trace of the convoy transporting supplies could be seen.
At this moment, the Eighth Route Army was having dinner. They set up many large pots not far from the Guojun soldiers. Steam was steaming from the pots, and bursts of meaty aroma spread over them, making the Guojun soldiers salivate.
This further irritated their hungry stomachs and made them feel even more uncomfortable.
As if the Eighth Route Army officers and soldiers were afraid that the Confederate officers and soldiers were not suffering enough, they carried the hot meals there and ate them. From time to time, they loudly praised the delicious food, which made the Confederate officers and soldiers hate it till their teeth.
They had nothing to do with these proud Eighth Route officers and soldiers, so they could only cast their resentful eyes on their superiors.
Seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, the officers and soldiers all felt that their hope of having a full meal might be in vain again. With such thoughts, the feeling of hunger became stronger and stronger, and the soldiers became even more dissatisfied.
.As the saying goes, misfortunes never come singly. At this moment, the sky was overcast, a damp cold wind came, and then it started to rain lightly.
The officers and soldiers of the Guo Army arrived in a hurry and could not bring camping equipment such as tents. The 396th Division was not a direct unit of the Guo Army and was poorly equipped. Not everyone was equipped with rain gear like the officers, so all the Guo Army soldiers were exposed to the rain.
The rain was not heavy, but it could still wet the soldiers' clothes, and the cold and wet feeling further deepened the hunger in their bellies.
If officers and soldiers are not like the Eighth Route Army, they have no far-fetched ideals and hesitant beliefs. We join the army just to have a good meal. The situation in front of us immediately arouses our anger and excitement, and few soldiers stop.
Many people complained, and some even cursed.
Although the military officers threatened and intimidated them, they still could not calm down the soldiers' anger, and the situation gradually became out of control.
Several soldiers started shouting outside. A Guojun platoon leader and two of his close associates stepped down and shouted to stop. As a result, the soldiers obeyed and a conflict broke out between the two sides.
The battalion commander sent his own guard squad to suppress the situation, which caused even fewer soldiers to fight. We all shouted and cheered for the troublemaking soldiers. The situation became even more chaotic.
The platoon leader laughed warmly and said disdainfully: "Does he think that your Fourth Route Army is as greedy for life and afraid of death as the Guo Army, and that a little heavy rain can interrupt your exercise? You Fourth Route Army
The army is resolute in resisting the war. Even if we are afraid of mountains of swords and seas of fire, what does a little heavy rain mean?"
The platoon leader of the Fourth Route Army did not step down and said from a distance: "If you haven't received orders from your subordinates yet, it means that the exercise is still continuing. Please continue to wait patiently."
From my actions, Song Tianming felt more and more contempt for himself. I was itching with hatred, but there was nothing I could do. At this time, I had not given up completely, and I was vague about whether it was possible for me to send the supplies. I knew it too well.
The quality of the guys in the 396th Division has been improved. If they continue to go up like this, I am afraid that the morale of the besieged officers and soldiers will be slightly affected, and if something goes wrong, trouble may arise.
Before the chief of staff received the telegram from Obayashi Shinichi, he frowned for a reason. I was not satisfied with how Obayashi Shinichi and others handled the matter like that. However, I did not reprimand Obayashi Shinichi.
I mean, because I have long known that Yi Zhongxing is a difficult character. Although the move used by Da Lin Shinichi and others is not difficult, I don't think Ding Shunchang can crack it.
The platoon leader originally wanted to continue to ridicule Yi Zhongxing, but he felt that it was not worth it, so he stopped talking, turned away, and ignored him.
That trick was really difficult for Obayashi Shinichi and others to deal with. The chief of staff also wanted to discuss it with the division commander, but at this time the division commander had not left the office and went back to rest. The chief of staff was there
After I didn't think of a solution, it was easy to disturb me, so I just had to think hard outside.
The chaotic situation of the Guojun officers and soldiers made the Fourth Route officers and soldiers wearing raincoats on the side look very happy. Kong Jie, who was sitting outside the tent to take shelter from the rain, also laughed out loud after listening to the report, expressing his appreciation for the quality of the Guojun officers and soldiers.
It feels more and more like crumbs.
In fact, in the morning, Dalin Shinichi received the telegram from Xu Dalong for the first time. At that time, I did not report the situation to the social division and the Youth League Headquarters. It was also related to my face. For such a big thing, I am a very low-level person.
The section chief must have solved it, but I'm afraid he will be reprimanded by the division commander and chief of staff, so I also hope that Yi Zhongxing and others can solve it on their own.
The moves used by Xu Dalong and others took advantage of the Fourth Route Army's daring to have a head-on armed conflict with the Guo Army, while the moves used by Ding Shunchang also took advantage of the Guo Army's daring to engage in a head-on armed conflict with the Fourth Route Army.
Before Kong Jie received the report, he was not surprised. Instead, he smiled and said: "The big devils are really here. Everything is within the plan of Brother Xiaolong. Since we insist on giving us gifts,
We accept this politely. Correspondent, pass on your order. Each regiment will immediately end its operations in accordance with the original battle plan."
Song Tianming felt unsure, so he walked towards the platoon leader. The platoon leader said: "Sir, the subordinates just came to give orders. Your drill has begun. Now they have passed." After saying this, he let a few people go.
Soldiers moved the fence blocking the road.
The platoon leader didn't look embarrassed. He scratched his head and thought about it carelessly. As if he was determined, he said to Song Tianming: "Sir, I'm just hiding it. The Japanese are calling. If they are afraid, just go over."
"
Kong Jiere snorted and cursed: "Just because those guys are able to support us outside, it's obvious that they are secretly colluding with the devils. Otherwise, I'm afraid the puppet army will drive us away long ago."
gone."
Before your army's observation post on the rear line discovered the Japanese and puppet troops, they immediately reported the retreat to their superiors.
The Japanese and puppet troops who attacked the base area successively did not withdraw and were still stationed around the base area. Before receiving the order from the division headquarters, we dispatched again to launch a retreat attack on the base area.
Commissioner Zheng of the 1st Regiment laughed sarcastically: "The quality of those Guojun officers and soldiers is simply too poor. That's no wonder, the special Guojun officers and soldiers are still willing to pay for two meals, and this is unworthy. 39 Those guys of the 6th Division
, they are not just a mob, I really know how those guys were able to persist outside Shangzhou."
Song Tianming smiled respectfully and said without any sarcasm: "What? Their drills are going to last for a long time. Why are they starting now? Is there nothing else going on?"
Before Yi Zhongxing read the telegram, he asked the chief of staff to forward the telegram to Song Tianming.
After all, the chief of staff was an experienced low-level officer, and he was very resourceful. As time went by, I came up with a solution. I drafted a telegram and had someone send it to Dalin Shinichi. Then I grabbed it again.
The call was made to the combatant duty room.
Song Tianming got out of the car and asked the driver to drive backwards. The motorcade followed and passed the checkpoint, continuing to retreat deeper into the base area.
When it was just over, Song Tianming was not worried about his face, and was worried that Xu Dalong and the chief of staff thought he was capable and would not report the difficulties they faced to us. But now that things have happened, I have to lose face and tell them.
I truthfully reported the situation outside to our retreat. Of course, in order to conceal my incompetence in the telegram, I exaggeratedly told how the Fourth Route Army retreated and made things difficult for us, and asked Yi Zhongxing and the Chief of Staff to think of other methods.
Kong Jie said with a smile: "He should be worried. You can trust Brother Xiaolong. You want to see how long those guys can hold on there."
Seeing that it was getting late, Xu Dalong sent another telegram. Da Lin Xinyi now had no choice but to report the situation to the chief of staff.
Before I got a reply, I waved in front of me, and a few Fourth Route Army officers and soldiers emerged from the darkness of the night, following the battalion commander and running back in the direction of the convoy. At this time, Wei Xiaoyong was lying on the ridge of the field.
Ahead, watching the motorcade driving down the highway.
Yi Zhongxing received the telegram from the chief of staff and kept looking at his watch. About an hour later, he saw a cavalry messenger from the Fourth Route Army rushing towards him. Yi Zhongxing knew that at the end of the day,
It was the news I had been waiting for.
The platoon leader said noncommittally: "Please be careful with them." After saying that, he gave the command to the soldiers of the Fourth Route Army who were broken up in the last row, and ran away slowly and hurriedly.
Sure enough, the cavalryman hurriedly chatted a few words with the platoon leader guarding the checkpoint, then immediately galloped away. The platoon leader gathered the soldiers guarding the checkpoint, and then rushed towards Song.
Tianming shouted: "Sir, please come over here."
Dalin Xinyi couldn't help but look happy before he received the telegram from the chief of staff. I quickly forwarded the telegram to Yi Zhongxing and others.
The Zheng Committee of the First Regiment sighed and said: "Those damn diehards are determined to resist Japan, but they are always against our Fourth Route Army. It's really a headache."
Song Tianming smiled and said: "The big Japanese are here, what are you afraid of? Their Fourth Route Army dares to fight, but your Guo Army is afraid. Even though you only have so few people on your hands now, you still dare to fight the Japanese."
At the checkpoint was the platoon leader of the Fourth Route Army. He looked at the passing convoy, smiled, picked up the walkie-talkie, and reported to his superiors.
But the chief of staff also knew for a moment what kind of moves Ding Shunchang would use. Now that I was the last to do it, I couldn't help but smile bitterly and thought to myself: "That move can't be said to be tit for tat."
At the checkpoint of the Fourth Route Army, Song Tianming saw that the sky was getting whiter and whiter, and he really waited to go up. I wore out my raincoat, came to the checkpoint again, and said without any anger: "Brothers of the Fourth Route Army, their
It’s time for the drills to begin.”
Song Tianming relaxed his eyes and said: "The weather is so good, their acting has probably not started yet. If you want to use that excuse again, please contact their subordinates immediately. Otherwise, you must report to the superior department."
Accuse them of provoking trouble and breaking up the war of resistance."
At this point, Xu Dalong and the Chief of Staff were also very vague. The Fourth Route Army was going to force us to evacuate voluntarily. In order to invade the Fourth Route Army's base area, Xu Dalong and others worked hard one after another. At worst, it was difficult to send a team to occupy it.
We were willing to just go in and out in despair. However, the seven of us had no choice but to contact Obayashi Shinichi again and asked me to help solve the predicament behind us.
