People like Chen Zifeng are no exception. Fortunately, they brought their own lunch boxes, otherwise they wouldn't even have bowls and chopsticks to eat.
They packed the food, gathered in a corner, and ate hungrily.
Halfway through the meal, I was so surprised that it started to rain lightly. It wasn't heavy, but it quickly wet my clothes.
The kitchen was just two thatched huts, which were narrow and couldn't hide many people. Many officers carried their rice bowls and ran to the room where they worked.
Chen Zifeng and the others had nowhere to go, so they took their jobs and went to the headquarters.
The headquarters was crowded with officers and soldiers. They squeezed into a small space by the door and continued to eat.
After eating, it was already dark. It was still raining outside, so they decided to sleep.
Xiao Ancheng was smarter and wormed his way through the crowd to find Colonel Zhao. He asked him for two military cotton blankets and spread them on the ground. The brothers sat on the cotton blankets, leaning against the wall, and fell asleep.
Only Chen Zifeng and Xiao Ancheng couldn't sleep.
Xiao Ancheng first sent a telegram to Chief Li in Wuhan, briefly reporting that they had arrived at the De'anxi battlefield and that they were observing the battle conditions at Baishui Street and Qilin Peak.
The Japanese 27th Division seems to have retreated for unknown reasons. If they return to continue the attack, Baishui Street and Qilin Peak will still be dangerous places. Once they are opened there, the Japanese 106th Division will inevitably flee from there!
After he sent the telegram, just like Chen Zifeng, he stared at the rainy day outside in a daze.
If it rains again tomorrow, they will be in more trouble.
29-5
As expected, whatever you fear will come to you!
The next day, after Chen Zifeng's group had breakfast, the rain was still falling and it seemed to be quite heavy.
Colonel Zhao came over and asked with a smile: "Brother Zifeng, are you still going out today?"
Chen Zifeng tilted his chin outside and said, "Sir, look at this rain, it's really not the right time!"
Colonel Zhao said: "It's okay, it's not a bad idea to rest for two days and just hide out."
One sentence made the fire in Chen Zifeng's stomach rise, and he said: "Sir, we still have to go out! This is what we are here to do, this little rain is nothing!"
Colonel Zhao laughed and said nothing. He just took out two raincoats from behind, threw them into Chen Zifeng's arms, turned around and walked away.
Chen Zifeng grinned at Xiao Ancheng and said, "Damn it, I'm still fooled by him!"
29-6
Chen Zifeng's pickup truck roared as it drove out of the muddy Baicha Town in the rain.
There are six of them, two of them are in the cab, and there are four more people in the carriage. How can they wear two raincoats!
So, they simply put their raincoats on the weapons and ammunition, leaving the people in the car soaked in the rain.
Chen Zifeng said: "It's useless for both of us to wear one! We might as well not wear one at all!"
This area is full of dirt roads. It's fine on a sunny day, at least the road surface is hard. But when it rains, it's rolled over by many vehicles and stepped on by many soldiers, and the road has already turned into a muddy pond.
The road was extremely narrow and the truck almost slipped into the ravine several times.
There were also several times when the wheels got stuck in the mud, and all the brothers got down to push the cart, leaving them covered in mud.
Finally, Li San said: "Zifeng, we can't go on like this! The road ahead is getting worse and worse. If the car really falls into the ravine, we won't be able to do anything!"
Chen Zifeng looked back at Xiao Ancheng, "An thief, tell me!"
Xiao Ancheng looked forward and back, and had no choice but to say: "There is no other way. We can either find a place to wait for the rain to stop, or we can walk up the mountain. Damn it, we don't know when it will rain!"
They covered themselves with raincoats and opened the map to check.
Damn it! What a bastard! Their purpose today was to go to Zhanggushan Mountain, but now they have gone around and reached the east side of Zhanggushan Mountain! They still have to go around in a circle to get to Zhanggushan Mountain!
Judging from the map, it is only a few kilometers away from Zhanggu Mountain in a straight line. It would take more than ten kilometers to take a detour!
Chen Zifeng said: "Have you seen what Colonel Zhao looks like! Damn it, he just doesn't trust Zhang Gushan! Well, now that he's out, let's go take a look! Li San and Xuehai will guard the truck, and the others will follow me
Walk! Walk!”
29-7
Chen Zifeng and his party of four quickly got into the forest.
One is to take a shortcut, and the other is that there are some weeds in the mountains and forests, unlike dirt roads that can sink up to the ankles.
They were already soaked, and the rainwater flowed down their cheeks and onto their chins. They all pulled the brim of their hats low to protect their eyes from the rain.
Of the two raincoats given by Colonel Zhao, one was left on the truck to cover the ammunition, and the other was draped on Xiao Ancheng's back. His radio station couldn't get caught in the rain!
Walking on a mountain road on a rainy day means just one word: "Tired"!
They were all panting heavily and walking slowly through the forest.
On rainy days and in the mountains and forests, what they fear most is getting lost!
From time to time, Yang Sanqiang, a strong man, would pull open the raincoat behind Xiao Ancheng to form a small tent.
Chen Zifeng squatted under this small tent and took out the map from the radio pocket. Apart from the radio, this was the only dry thing on the four of them. Generally speaking, maps are not afraid of water. But there are place names and roads marked by Xiao Ancheng on the map.
, if they are wetted by the rain, they will become blind cats!
Chen Zifeng checked the map to confirm their direction, and the four of them continued walking forward.
29-8
I don’t know how long I walked, but Yang Sanqiang who was walking in front suddenly squatted down and raised a fist!
This was a sign of something happening! They all squatted down and carefully observed the situation around them.
At first, they found nothing. But after they calmed down, they vaguely heard the sound of someone talking through the sound of rain. The sound was not loud, as if two people were talking face to face!
But, damn it! They speak Japanese!
Yang Sanqiang followed Chen Zifeng's gesture, bent his waist, and slowly looked forward.
A few minutes later, he quietly ran back and said: "Zifeng, it's the Japanese army! There are about fifty or sixty people, a squadron! They are also looking at the map, maybe they are lost!"
Chen Zifeng already had a fierce look on his face and turned around to make a gesture to Xiao Ancheng.
This time, Qiang Hu and Yang Sanqiang took off his raincoat and spread it over his head. Under this small tent, Xiao Ancheng hurriedly turned on the radio and sent a telegram to the First Corps Staff Office!
The content of the telegram is as follows: "I am Chen Zifeng's observation team. I discovered a Japanese squadron about five kilometers east of Zhanggu Mountain! Our team has judged that it seems to be the vanguard of the Japanese army exploring a way out! Please respond quickly! Urgent!"
The call back came quickly, with just three words: "No way!"
This situation is very similar to the one they encountered in Zhangzhuang Town, An! They discovered the enemy's situation, but the officers just didn't believe it! But when they were in Zhangzhuang Town, Tan Hao was fighting for them! Tan Hao is not here now!
Chen Zifeng said: "Call Colonel Zhao! Explain the situation!"
Xiao Ancheng sent the message again and explained that he should immediately hand over this message to Colonel Zhao in person! Urgent!
29-9
At this time, although Commander Xue's First Corps headquarters was in chaos, fortunately, the communications officer finally found Colonel Zhao and handed the telegram to him.
Colonel Zhao was a staff officer after all. Although he was confused after seeing the telegram clearly, he knew about Chen Zifeng's team! He took the telegram to the map and checked it, and he found a problem!
He hurriedly found Major General Li, the chief of staff, and pointed out the situation described in the telegram to him, and explained that there seemed to be a gap between the east of Zhanggu Mountain and Dajin Mountain! Japanese troops were discovered in this area!
Major General Li's face was quite serious and he said bluntly: "Check again!"
29-10
A few minutes later, Xiao Ancheng received a call back from Colonel Zhao: "Be sure to confirm accurately!"
At this time, Yang Sanqiang ran over from a distance and whispered: "The Japanese army is also sending telegrams!"
So, when Xiao Ancheng reported the situation again, he added this sentence, the Japanese army is sending a report!
A minute later, he called back and asked: "Can you stop it? I will send nearby troops to support you!"
Xiao Ancheng looked up at Chen Zifeng and showed him the message!
Chen Zifeng gritted his teeth and said, "Yes! Be quick!"
Xiao Ancheng's call back also had these three words: "Yes! Hurry!"
Afterwards, he wrapped the radio in a raincoat, placed it under the tree, and covered it with some branches.
They crawled forward until they were very close to the Japanese army and observed carefully.
The Japanese army was still checking the map. A Japanese military radio operator was also sending a report under a small tent with a raincoat pulled up. But soon, they discovered that the Japanese military radio operator was cleaning up the radio! They seemed to be leaving!
Chen Zifeng carefully checked the surrounding terrain and whispered: "The top three and I will go over there! Let's fire first! The Japanese army will run towards you! You two will give them a head-on attack! Then we will join together to stop them.
!”
Xiao Ancheng and Qiang Hu both took off their rifles from their backs, straightened their rifles on their chests, and nodded vigorously to him.
Chen Zifeng and Yang Sanqiang wiped the rain off their faces, and like earthworms in the grass, they crawled to the other side and disappeared soon.
Xiao Ancheng and Qiang Hu looked at each other and quietly checked the weapons in their hands to make sure the bullets were loaded.
In the rain, the group of Japanese soldiers had already stood up and seemed to be preparing to leave.
29-11
The gunfire in the rain was crisp and sharp, as if it was exploding right next to your ears, and it was a series of gunshots!
The Japanese army was suddenly attacked, and suddenly they were in chaos! They roared loudly and pointed in the direction of the gunfire!
However, they were well-trained after all, and they quickly calmed down, lay down on the spot, and fired in the direction of the gunshot.
However, Chen Zifeng and his two rifles were really fierce. The Japanese soldiers were beaten so hard that they could not lift their heads! They lay on the ground and began to move sideways, trying to avoid the bullets coming from the front!
An officer was shouting and giving orders to the soldiers. The soldiers jumped up and ran towards Xiao'an City.
Xiao Ancheng and Qiang Hu both stared at them with wide eyes, waiting with bated breath.
When the Japanese soldiers rushed over and the distance was only a dozen meters away, they knelt down at the same time, picked up their rifles and fired fiercely at them! Even through the drizzle, they could clearly see the bullets as if they were being thrown into the water.
Like pebbles, it penetrated into their bodies and even into their faces! They screamed and fell backwards!
