"What... Liantai County is so dangerous? Then I have to go back. My brothers are fighting bloody battles. How can I survive in the back!"
Lu Da became anxious upon hearing this and was about to get off the stretcher, but he grunted as soon as his right foot landed.
Although Lanhua not far away was talking to Xiu Qin, she focused most of her attention on Lu Dayou, watching him from the corner of her eye from time to time. When she saw Lu Dayou was about to come down, she ran away in a few quick steps.
She came over and supported him: "Hey, what are you doing? Your leg is not good to begin with. If it breaks again, it will be in trouble."
Seeing so many pairs of eyes around him, Lu Dayou couldn't help but blush: "Lanhua, I'm fine, please let me down first."
"What are you doing? Don't you know that it will take a hundred days to break the muscles and bones? If the leg is broken again, it will not be a hundred days." Lanhua said as she forcibly pushed him back onto the stretcher.
Seeing Lan Hua's nervous look, Li Yunlong grinned at the side: "I didn't expect that this brother is very lucky. He can pick up a wife even if he crashes on the plane. No one else has such luck."
Xiu Qin rolled her eyes at him angrily: "What... you also want to try to crash the plane and then meet Yan Fu again?"
Seeing his wife's unkind eyes, Captain Li was full of desire for survival, "How can that be possible? We, Mr. Li, are not that kind of person. Having you in this life is enough. Besides, you are an old man."
The Li family has given birth to a fat boy, how can I be so evil?"
Li Yunlong today is different from the one in history. This guy has changed a lot since Xiuqin gave birth to a big fat boy for him.
The collars and cuffs that used to be always dirty have become much cleaner, and the habit of not washing feet at night has also changed. It must be said that women are the catalyst for men to mature, and this has always been the case throughout the ages.
After meeting each other, the group began to walk along a path toward the mountains. Li Yunlong and Xiu Qin walked side by side and talked in low voices.
"By the way, Xiuqin, how did you know that our group would pass by here?"
"How did I know you would come?" Xiu Qin said angrily: "We just received a notice from our superiors to deliver a batch of food here to the passing troops. I didn't expect it to be you."
"Yeah, I didn't expect you to be the ones transporting food to us?" Li Yunlong couldn't help but sigh.
"Lao Li, you must be having a hard time these days, right?" Looking at the man who had lost weight after not seeing him for several months, Xiu Qin touched his face with some distress.
"What am I doing?" Li Yunlong waved his hand indifferently, "This is what we eat, and what we do is this kind of business of licking blood with the blade of a knife. In fact, not only are we tired these days, but the Japanese are even more tired. They accompany us
We have been wandering around the mountains for several months.
We in the Eighth Route Army are weak-legged. We have been accustomed to walking on mountain roads since we were young. In addition, we march lightly and sleep wherever we go. But the Japanese can't do that. There are a lot of jars and jars, so they never dare to go beyond 30 kilometers to pursue.
This is what we are all about.”
It was okay if Li Yunlong didn't say that, but Xiu Qin felt even more distressed after he said it.
Now she is not a country girl who knows nothing. After being the director of the Women's Rescue Society for so long, she also understands a lot of things. Although Li Yunlong said it so easily, the Japanese devils relied on roads and railways, no matter in terms of military strength
The mobilization of supplies was much more convenient than the Eighth Route Army, which relied on two legs. The reason why Li Yunlong said this was just because he didn't want her to worry.
"Buzz buzz..."
While the two were talking, there was a roar of airplanes in the sky.
As soon as they heard the roar, the expressions of all the Eighth Route Army soldiers who were on their way changed, and then they heard an officer Gaosheng shout: "Everyone take cover!"
"Swish..."
Following the officer's voice, the Eighth Route Army that was originally marching on the mountain road quickly dispersed in two directions. Even the large vehicles that could not leave the road were covered by the Eighth Route Army with branches and dead grass.
This sounds like a long story, but it actually only takes less than two minutes.
As soon as everyone finished all this, a plane appeared in everyone's sight.
"This is the Japanese Tachikawa 98 reconnaissance plane!"
Lu Dayou, who was placed on the roadside and covered with withered grass, whispered to Li Yunlong beside him: "This plane is unarmed and does not pose a threat to us."
"Even if they don't pose a threat, we still have to hide from them." Li Yunlong also lowered his voice: "As soon as we open fire, the Japs will immediately notify their ground troops, and in less than half an hour, the Japs' fighter jets will arrive to entangle us.
, the Japanese ground troops will arrive within two hours, and by then we will have lost a lot of men even if we can escape.
Besides, we are still holding on to the entire regiment’s food supplies for more than half a month, so we cannot take any risks.”
While Li Yunlong was speaking, the plane lowered its altitude again.
It flew very low, almost flying on the top of the mountain. The visual flight height would never exceed 300 meters. After flying around the mountain range, it even rushed into the ridges and flew sideways, almost wanting to stick to the mountainside.
.
Seeing how arrogant the Japanese planes were, the Eighth Route Army soldiers who were hiding were so angry that their eyes were on fire. Fortunately, the soldiers of the independent regiment had the discipline of the army almost seeping into their bones. They would not move without orders from the commander.
But the militiamen in Zhaojiayu Village were worse. If Xiuqin hadn't been shouting and cursing in a low voice, someone might have been unable to hold back and shoot.
Fortunately, the reconnaissance plane did not stay long. After two laps, it flew away. Only when the plane flew so far that no shadow could be seen, the Eighth Route Army soldiers came out of hiding and the team continued on its way.
"Brother, you saw it." Li Yunlong said helplessly to Lu Dayou, who was lying on the stretcher: "The Japanese raids this time are different from the past. They not only sent a large number of ground troops to carry out dragnet raids on our base areas, but also
A large number of aircraft were dispatched to conduct repeated reconnaissance on us.
We will be surrounded by the Japanese the moment we show up, and our Eighth Route Army has lost a lot of personnel and equipment in the past few months alone. Just a few days ago, even our left deputy chief of staff died!"
Speaking of this, Li Yunlong was both sad and angry.
Deputy Chief of Staff Zuo was the highest-ranking general of the Eighth Route Army who died on the anti-Japanese battlefield. He was only 37 years old when he died. His sacrifice also made everyone in the Eighth Route Army mourn.
When the news reached northern Shaanxi, Commander-in-Chief Zhu of the Eighth Route Army wrote a poem to mourn him: The famous general died for his country and was willing to defend our country with all his blood. Taihang's majesty has been passed down through the ages, leaving flowers of vomiting blood in Qingzhang.
Lu Dayou was silent. Although he was only a pilot, he had also heard of the name of Deputy Chief of Staff Zuo, but he did not expect that he would also be sacrificed.
Just as the two of them fell into silence, another low roar came from the sky...
