Guo Rugui looked at the commander Huo Kuizhang and said softly: "It's still half an hour to be twenty-four hours, and it's time for the people from the 11th Division to come."

Huo Kuizhang said with a firm look on his face: "They are here. If they want to fight this battle, they will fight this battle too!"

Guo Rugui nodded, took the combat plan formulated by the staff, changed it simply, and handed it to the division commander and said, "Teacher, take a look."

Tang Jiabao led a squad to avoid the flares launched by the Japanese army and prepared to move in. However, he did not expect that the Japanese army in the village fired several flares one after another, so he had to slow down the pace of moving in.

The Japanese army did not notice anything abnormal and stopped the launch of the flares.

A group advanced along a river, and not long after, they saw a tall soapberry tree.

Tang Jiabao said: "It should be here. We will pass by here, even if we pass the Japanese-occupied area."

After saying that, Tang Jiabao walked around the big tree and walked down the slope. When he bent down and looked, he shouted in surprise: "No, it's going to rise. How can I get over this?"

Tang Jiabao's shouting was too low, and Luo Changshun asked, "Squad Leader, what's wrong?"

"The water has risen, I can't get through it anymore. Our group is only Zuo Wangqiu and Qi Qinglong gets water. What should I do now?" Tang Jiabao said with some regret.

"Or, keep moving forward and pass by the front." Luo Changshun said.

"Hey--, I'm afraid this is the only way. But this is a bit more dangerous, and I'm afraid that time won't catch up." After that, Tang Jiabao unfolded his raincoat and looked at his watch in the raincoat.

After seeing the watch, he walked forward, and Luo Changshun and others followed.

Yang An did not follow him. He walked carefully to the water, bent down to look at the water surface, and put his hands in the water.

After a while, Yang An got up and chased after him and shouted, "Squad leader, you can cross the river here."

When Tang Jiabao heard the shout, he couldn't believe what he heard and asked, "What?"

"Squad leader, you can cross the river here. I just looked at it and the water was not too deep, and the speed of the flowing water was very slow."

Hearing this, Tang Jiabao walked up to Yang An and asked, "Yang An, you are sure you can go there, but no one can get enough water."

"Squad leader, I know how to water, and I have swim in the Yangtze River. That day, when I crossed this small bridge, I couldn't see the river banks on both sides. Looking at the water rising just now, the water may only reach my chest. I touched the bridge in front and crossed the river. You can follow the river. Otherwise, I can take one person at a time."

For those who don’t know how to water, they will have a natural fear of water. Therefore, Tang Jiabao has a completely different judgment from Yang An.

"Okay, you can try it first. If it's OK, you can pass. If it doesn't work, hurry up and hurry up."

Yang An took off his rifle, medicine box, and shoulder bag, and slowly touched down the path, slowly getting deeper than his knees.

"Pu" and his feet slipped, Yang An fell back, and his whole body was sank into the water.

"Yang An! Yang An!..." Seeing Yang An sinking into the water and seeing the splashing water, Tang Jiabao and others felt their hearts hanging and shouted in unison.

The rain after autumn had already cooled a little. Yang An closed his breath and sank into the water. He quickly paddled with his hands to stop the slide and slowly stood up from the water.

Seeing that Yang An got up from the water, Tang Jiabao asked, "Yang An, how about it, is it okay?"

Yang An wiped the water from his face with his hands and said, "It's okay, I was not careful just now, and I won't fall anymore."

After saying that, Yang An turned his body, slowly moved his footsteps, and groped forward. Slowly, the water reached his waist. Soon, the river water exceeded his chest. At this time, Yang An felt the coolness of the river water, took a deep breath, and groped forward. After a few steps, he stepped onto the wooden bridge that was one step wide. However, the water depth was a little deeper than he had expected before. The water surface had already reached his shoulders and reached his chin. Although the river water flowed very slowly, his whole body was in the water, and he felt that his body was going to flow downstream. He frowned slightly, and quickly stroked the water with his hands to maintain the stability and direction of his body.

Seeing Yang An rushing to the water, Tang Jiabao's heart was hanging again. At this time, he did not dare to shout reminders, worried that Yang An would be distracted.

Yang An had just walked two steps and felt that his body was unstable, so he had to paddle twice. After two paddling experiences, he paddled the water from time to time, and kept his body stable. He walked across the river along the wooden bridge. After crossing the river, Yang An took off his raincoat, took off his shoes, and groped to go into the water.

Yang An returned from the wooden bridge smoothly, and asked with a faint smile: "Squad leader, who will come first?"

"Li Xiaoshuan, come on!"

"Squad leader, I'm afraid!" Li Xiaoshuan said in a trembling voice.

"Coward! Hurry, don't waste time!"

"Squad leader, I'm really afraid of drowning!"

Yang An listened to Li Xiaoshuan's voice, smiled "Hehe" and said with a relaxed slight: "Li Xiaoshuan, come quickly! I have swam in the Yangtze River. The river water is cool and the water flows fast, and nothing is wrong at all. Come! I will hold you and guarantee you are fine!"

"I..." Li Xiaoshuan was still unable to overcome his fear of flowing water and was speechless for a moment.

Yang An shouted: "Squad Leader Luo, come! I'll take you there first."

"Okay! I'll give it a try first!" Luo Changshun said.

"Yang An, I'll come first." The wealthy fan rushed to say.

After several days of joint battle, Luo Changshun and Cai Mi, two excellent shooters, had almost instinctive trust in Yang An and wanted to be the first to follow Yang An across the river.

"Okay, then Squad Leader Luo will come first. You all take off your raincoat and put it away, so that the resistance in the water will be smaller and it will be easier to stand firm."

Luo Changshun put away his raincoat, carried a rifle on his back, and reached out to grab Yang An's hands.

Yang An clenched his toes and slowly retreated. Soon, the two of them touched the wooden bridge underwater. Luo Changshun was slightly shorter than Yang An. He felt that the water was about to enter his mouth, so he raised his head.

"This water is really a little cold!" Luo Changshun said.

"Well, stop talking, grab my shoulders, I'm going to turn around. You can also use your right hand to make a stroke, so that your body can stand firmer," he said.

After saying that, Yang An turned around and started paddling with his right hand, and took off his shoes. Because he took off his shoes, his feet felt more sensitive and clearer, and soon the two of them crossed the river.

Next, Yang An took them all across the river. He returned and carried a rifle, put the medicine box and a bag on his head, paddling with one hand and holding the luggage above his head with the other hand and crossing the river.

Seeing Yang An crossing the river and put on his shoes, Tang Jiabao looked at the time in his raincoat again and said, "It's too late now. We must speed up and keep up with each other."

After saying that, Tang Jiabao ran all the way in the mud and sand and headed straight to Shi Xianggong Temple.

In Shi Xianggong Temple, the 14th Division held a meeting of officers above the battalion and deployed night combat missions.

Guo Ruogui announced the division's combat order, looked at the division commander, and said, "Teacher, there are still fifteen minutes left before 24:00, are you still waiting for the guide sent by the military headquarters?"

Huo Kuizhang replied with regret: "Luodian is a flat mountain. It is marching at night, and it rains like this again. Without reference to the land, no matter which unit is easily lost, they may have lost. Forget it, don't wait!"

"Report!"

"Come in", Guo Rugui saw the guards of the division headquarters coming in and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Report to the Chief of Staff! The sentries on the alert position brought 5 soldiers. They said they were from the 11th Division, and the command answers were correct. They should be from the 11th Division."

"Okay! Bring them in!"

After a while, five panting "mud monkeys" came into the construction Xianggong Temple, and the body was filled with heat.

Tang Jiabao stepped into the threshold first. As soon as he entered the door, he saw a major general standing in front of him. He quickly stood attentively to salute a gun, and reported loudly: "Report to the commander, Tang Jiabao, the squad leader of the 6th Company, 66th Battalion, 66th Regiment, 63rd Brigade of the 11th Division, was ordered to lead a team to report. Please instruct!"

Although Tang Jiabao looks completely a "clay man", when he saw his high spirits and his quick and neat report, Huo Kuizhang nodded slightly, showed an admiring look, and said with concern: "Welcome! Welcome! Squad Leader Tang, you have worked hard all the way! Come and pour some boiled water for them."

"Thank you, sir! No need, please arrange the task!"

"Captain Gao, you 83rd Regiment can be taken away." After that, he turned around and said to Tang Jiabao: "You have rushed to the night road for dozens of miles, take a little rest, and set off immediately!"

"Report to the sir, we can perform the mission immediately without rest!"

"Okay! Commander Que, which battalion do you plan to take the lead?"

"Report to the division commander, I have arranged the third battalion to take the lead." Commander Que Hanqian, the 79th Regiment, replied.

"Three Battalion? Li Bojun!"

"Come!" Li Bojun stepped forward and replied.
Chapter completed!
