Seeing that Zhou Weiguo's face was slightly angry, Xu Hu quickly pointed his finger behind: "I left a platoon of troops to protect the group of female soldiers and the wounded, so I brought people for reinforcements. There is a forest over there, although it is not very big.
, but the concealment is very good.”
Are there woods?
Zhou Weiguo looked into the distance, but the rising fog made it difficult for him to point to Xu Hu; "Is there a forest?"
Xu Hu hummed, "Yes, it's still about three kilometers away from here."
Three kilometers? Zhou Weiguo raised his hand and looked at the time. It was already past five o'clock in the afternoon. It would get dark in an hour or so. Because it was raining, there would definitely be thick fog soon.
The dark and gloomy sky is coupled with layers of fog. This will be a natural protective barrier.
"I think we will rest there tonight. Let's light a fire and let everyone dry their clothes to avoid increasing the number of injuries due to wet clothes." Zhou Weiguo looked at the puddle on the ground and turned his head to act as a response to the current situation.
Jiang Yuedao, the battalion deputy.
After thinking for a while, he looked at the soldiers carrying the chopped horse meat; "Let's get some food by the way. These days, we don't even dare to live, so we eat raw food every day."
Jiang Yue lowered his head and thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "The fog is indeed the best cover, and you can also cook and live. I have no objection."
"Battal Commander, I will lead the way." Xu Hu pointed forward, and turned to the soldiers around him to help carry the horse meat and anti-weapons.
After the group finally came to a three-way road, Xu Hu crossed the path on the right and walked forward for nearly 500 meters before entering a forest surrounded by mist.
"Xu Hu, set up hidden sentries four hundred meters ahead of the road, and so on. One sentry every two hundred meters, all the way to here." After Zhou Weiguo pointed to Xu Hu and asked him to make arrangements, he took Jiang Yue and others into this place.
Among the woods.
When the medical soldiers in the forest saw the main force coming, the medical soldiers began to treat the injured and injured. Zhou Weiguo immediately ordered the soldiers to light bonfires and cook in military pots. While cooking, they took off their clothes to dry.
.
As for the dozen female soldiers, Zhou Weiguo also considered their privacy issues and lit a bonfire for them alone, then built tents with stolen raincoats and other tents, and ordered that no one should come closer than five meters to the female soldiers, otherwise they would be killed.
amnesty.
After arranging all this, Zhou Weiguo summoned several company commanders to sit together.
He glanced slightly at the two reserve company commanders sitting next to Huang Yingying.
This time, more than 300 people were merged at the entrance of villages and towns. Part of the Central Army was merged into the three companies of the original special agent battalion. The remaining 180 troops of the Sichuan Army, Guijun and the security regiment formed a reserve force.
team, Zhou Weiguo appointed Wang Qi, the original captain of the Gui Army, as the reserve company commander.
The reserve company's combat effectiveness is not weak. They are all veterans who have come back from the battlefield. The only thing lacking is that the weapons in their hands are messy.
"This time, we destroyed a squadron of the other side. We captured a lot of long and short guns and bullets. Your company's equipment is too poor, so I decided to distribute all the captured weapons to you. You immediately ordered that all the rags be given to me.
Throw it away and replace it with the 38 rifle."
Hu Yong on the side showed envious eyes, and Zhou Weiguo glared at him: "Don't be greedy, it's none of your business."
Hu Yong spread his hands and laughed twice; "I'm just envious."
Envious, Zhou Weiguo snorted and spoke again: "The seized pistols are given to the girls in the health platoon to wear. It can be regarded as giving them a weapon for self-defense, and of course it also gives them a way out."
The Japanese army is brutal. Who can guarantee that nothing will happen to them in the future? At least at the moment of despair, they can use their own pistols to commit suicide without encountering the vicious hands of the enemy and become desperate and angry. At least they can walk calmly.
Although the tortoise box with a gun may not be able to commit suicide, it is still better than being unable to restrain the chicken when the time comes.
None of the company commanders objected to this point. They were equipped with box cannons. This bastard box was really inferior to their discernment.
Seeing that no one objected, Zhou Weiguo picked up the burning firewood and lit a cigarette. He looked at the steaming horse meat and said to Xu Hu, "Go get some chili peppers and throw them in, and put the ginger in as well."
What?
When he heard about chili pepper, Hu Yong's face turned the color of pork liver. He really couldn't get used to eating this chili pepper.
Looking at Hu Yong who looked like he had encountered a devil, Zhou Weiguo pointed at Hu Yong and then looked at the Hubei soldiers and Guangxi soldiers who also showed fearful expressions: "Don't talk to me about these useless things. Eating them will protect your body temperature."
It’s hard to get rid of the cold in your body, but you won’t die. If you don’t eat it, a cold will kill you. It’s your choice whether to eat it or not.”
Eat, of course you have to eat, Hu Yong didn’t dare to say a word and nodded, Zhou Weiguo felt relieved and looked at the boiled horse meat offal and some canned mixed pot in a big pot and pointed to Xu Hu; "It will be ready later."
, you go and call the sisters from the health platoon, we will eat together, hand out the guns, and teach them how to use them. Then seize the time to rest. Our next stop is to Suzhou to rest."
At the headquarters of the Fujino Brigade, the major with buck teeth slightly exposed walked back and forth in the khaki tent.
Yesterday, he asked the Koi Squadron to serve as the forward and pursue it westward. Today at noon, he could still contact them, but after four o'clock in the afternoon, he could not contact them at all.
This made him a little worried, whether Xiaojing's troops had encountered an enemy ambush.
However, judging from the aviation reconnaissance situation, almost all troops on this road have been defeated, and it has long been impossible to form effective defense and offense.
As the saying goes, a defeat is like a mountain falling. In a great rout, if the generals are not known, it will be difficult to organize the troops.
But the problem is...
"Still can't contact Koi Squadron?" Fujino came to the place where the radio was located and asked the soldier in charge of generating electricity. The soldier's response made Fujino return to the map laid out on the desk and asked the adjutant who was busy beside him;
"Where are they at noon?"
The adjutant immediately came over and pointed to the village; "At noon, their position was in this bombed village, and the last message was that they were chasing a broken army of nearly 400 people west of the village.
.”
How many? More than 400 people? According to the air force news from the wing in the morning, nearly a thousand troops were evacuating in front of him, but Koi actually said that there were only about 400 troops.
this……
Are you kidding yourself? Fujino's face began to change little by little. In the end, the face that had become slightly rosy due to the charcoal fire in the camp gradually turned pale, forming a somewhat dead look.
So pale.
Suddenly, he hit the map with his clenched fist, "Baga, blame me for being careless."
