Chapter 195 Temporary Company Commander
No matter how dark the night is, it will pass. The east is whitening, and the Ninth Company, which has been dealing with the belly randomly, is ready to go and embark on a new day of escape.
"Report, a Japanese camp was found more than ten miles to the west, stuck at the mountain pass?" The soldiers from the special agent squad who had been scouting for a night had just returned and were exhausted. They were reporting on the nearby news they had collected after working all night.
After listening to the report, Hu Yi immediately judged that the Japanese camp appeared in the west, which should be to clear the outer Japanese blockade on the other side of the city.
There is no way for people like the Ninth Company to break through forcefully. Besides, even if they break into the encirclement, aren't they going to die? No one would be that stupid.
So, now, Jiulian has to consider changing directions.
It was impossible to go west. There was a Japanese blockade to the north and Japanese soldiers chasing them to the east. The only option left for the Ninth Company was to go south.
If you go back to the division headquarters in the south in normal times, even if you take all the small roads, it will only take two or three days to appear in the area north of the division headquarters. However, now you may encounter an enemy who has jumped into the air and surrounded the division headquarters at any time.
For the Japanese troops, there are mountains to the north of the division headquarters. There will definitely be a Japanese search party. It may be okay to go south for two days. If you go further, if you still carry your tail, you will be in danger of being attacked from both sides.
We can only go south and look for opportunities to turn halfway.
This trip has made a big circle, and the mission has been completed. It is impossible to return to the division headquarters for the time being, let alone the independent regiment.
The roads in this mountain area are still full of ravines, and the roads are even more difficult to navigate. There are Japanese soldiers everywhere. When other troops encounter such a situation, they will definitely find a place to hide and wait until the Japanese soldiers retreat.
The Nine Company was different, because with Luo Fugui's back, those climbing ropes and messy equipment, the soldiers who did not practice stabbing on weekdays and had been running around in the mountains for a long time could go up the mountain and down the cliff as if they were walking on flat ground.
On the surface, it looks like he is trapped in the mountains. In fact, it is not difficult to get rid of the gang of Japanese behind him.
Hu Yi did not order a break from contact with the Japanese.
The mountainous area is so big that it is not difficult to deal with the Japs. It is not easy for the Japs to report their whereabouts to the Japs headquarters. The Japs following behind must be a small force. There is no radio station. The Japs radio station is only assigned to the brigade.
size of the troops.
The two classes, Tang Dagou and Banxian, who had never experienced anything like this, found it novel. For them, the mountains were different from the plains. It was like a trip, and they were talking and laughing along the way.
Having food to eat, being able to survive, and having no other pursuits for the time being is a pretty good life.
But there was a problem before Hu Yi: he encountered food shortage again!
Having food has once again become a luxury. If you can't get food, you can hold on for two days at most. Even if there are people hiding in the mountains, in the days of drought, there are more than fifty people in the nine companies. How can ordinary people be casual?
How to get so much food?
There were more than fifty people running for their lives into the mountains. They had too much time to take care of themselves. How could they have any surplus food? If they wanted to survive, the best way was to take risks again and take advantage of the enemy's pursuit behind them.
Because of this, the Japanese soldiers did not lose the trace of their eight-way escape.
Not only is the Jiulian Company short of food, but the Japanese who have entered the mountains are also very miserable. It is not easy to supply supplies in the mountains, and they are also facing a food crisis.
The Japs troops on the outskirts of Shanbei are not short of food. What is short of food is the mopping up troops who have gone deep into the mountains. Transportation is too difficult. It is very difficult to get back to the supply point and get a little replenishment, because the transport team has to face attacks by the Eighth Route Army guerrillas at any time.
.
The Eighth Route Army outside the mountains was unable to support the people in the mountains, so cutting off the Japanese food roads became the best means of support. The guerrillas and militiamen attacked the Japanese transport troops, and they were just trying their best to prevent the Japanese food from being transported into the mountains no matter what!
Hu Yi's consideration is that no matter how little the enemy captures, there is always something worth taking the risk of Jiulian. No matter how difficult the situation is, it is better than starving to death in the mountains and comrades who are forced to flee the cliff!
We still don’t know what situation we are going to face. Now we are caught among the Japanese. The only good news is that we found a troop on the east side last night. But the good news may turn into bad news at any time. Behind that troop
, must also be followed by a large number of Japs. Although the distance is not far, the Japs following behind have blocked the road, making it impossible to cross directly to the east. It is too early to consider taking the risk now.
Hu Yi ordered all the canned food, rice balls, biscuits and other dry food seized in the ambush the day before yesterday to be divided up. Not a single bit was left behind. This was because surviving in the cracks of the Japanese raiding troops meant that the marching road was long, and they would be refreshed after dividing it.
The load is evenly distributed, so there is no need for several female militiamen to serve as a separate logistics team. The most important thing is that everyone in the team is a soldier, and Wang Xiaosan no longer has to be the leader.
There is no absolute fairness in the world, so the girl's share will naturally be taken care of by Luo Fugui.
Fifty-six people, three machine guns, two grenade launchers, and 38 caps, three Southern 14 pistols, 20 made in Hanyang, more than 20 shell guns, bullets? The reported number is less than a thousand,
With an average of more than ten people per capita, this is the Eighth Route Army.
Company Commander Chen suddenly realized: So those soldiers’ bullet boxes and bullet pouches were also filled with stone bars? Because tree branches are not that heavy!
A platoon of more than twenty shell guns made him speechless. Even if the Ninth Company concentrated the entire platoon's firepower to show off, it would put him who was still using broadswords and spears to shame. How could those sacrificed men have such firepower?
I thought I could use the favorable terrain to fight the Japanese for ten days and ten nights.
If he knew that the number captured by the Japanese in the ambush the day before yesterday was more than this, he wouldn't know what he would think.
There is no way to calculate the true situation. Hu Yi knew that even if it doubled ten times, he would not be surprised.
The team marched in the morning light. In front of them was a path up the mountain. The team was spread out in a chaotic manner, with groups of three and five. One of the stretchers must have been specially used according to the custom. The old man was sleeping with his head covered and wearing pigtails. A wide man walked in front of the stretcher.
Hu Yi, with his narrow eyebrows, occasionally turned his head to look around at the terrain.
The bear followed the stretcher, laughing and talking nonsense to Hao Yun next to him from time to time.
"That guy said he could dodge bullets, do you believe it?"
Chen Chong, whose arm was wrapped in a bandage, said, "It sounds better to say that you are invulnerable! Don't you think you have any moral character? When you see a Japs, just hit them and run away. Why do you think the Japs need to hide when they are on the other side?"
"It's your grandma's fault. You're talking nonsense when I talk about it. That guy named Lao is very serious about what he said. Don't believe it. Boss Hu said it. It's possible!"
Chen Chong was doubtful: "Captain Hu said it's possible? Then it's really possible. Tell me, how can we hide?"
"Grandma, do you think you can understand such a profound thing even if I tell it to you?"
"You're so shameless. If you don't tell me, forget it. I'll ask the company commander later!"
"Do you really believe it? If you put a bandage on and still run around without stopping, I'm confused. Do you think that if he was really good at it, he would still be chased by the Japanese like a dog?"
Chen Jishi walked in front of the team, slowed down and waited for Hu Yi to come up: "That Captain Hu, I want to ask you something."
"Well, you're welcome, just tell me."
"Your company, what's going on with that girl? I heard that girl said that she acted as the company commander when you were away?" Company Commander Chen was deceived by the girl and wanted to listen to her orders. He was a little unwilling to give up. He is a dignified company commander. If he says it, he will go out.
Water, of course, must be followed.
