The War of Resistance - #1219 - Chapter 1211: nocturnal

Why are the people in the Northeast so good at chattering and some even talk about the mountains? According to the Northeast dialect, it is called “lǎi”, maybe this has something to do with the climate in the Northeast.

During the long winter, when they couldn’t do any farm work, people who were unwilling to be lonely would gather on the hot kang to talk about dancing and hanging things.

And when it comes to the working season, spring and summer are just fine. When the crops are harvested in autumn, relatives and neighbors have to get together to work again.

The reason is very simple, the land is very fertile, and the people in one’s own family can’t keep up with their own work, so naturally they need cooperation.

For example, when loading a large cart of wheat, the stacks of wheat on the cart are as high as the house, and there must be forks on the bottom and stacks on the top. Can a few people in the family handle it?

As mentioned above, people from Northeast China are generous, enthusiastic and helpful.

The same is true for soldiers from Northeast China. When they are happy, they say when they are unhappy, and when they tease others, they also tease themselves, which relieves their physical and mental pain and emotional tension.

However, just an hour before dark, the guard company and some related personnel were summoned by Shang Zhen to start studying the battle plan.

The brigade commander Liu Chengyi and the chief of staff Li Xiang were listening but never interfering.

Just as it got dark, the complete plan was formed.

Not long after that, the guard company set off, brigade commander Liu Chengyi and chief of staff Li Xiang were among them.

This time, the bodyguards that Shang Zhen sent Liu Chengyi and Li Xiangjia were replaced by Gu Man and Gu Bing, Wang Laomao and Qian Chuaner.

Everything was carried out according to the plan studied by Shang Zhen and the others. Liu Chengyi and Li Xiang walked forward in the team like ordinary soldiers. Although they each had guns in their waists, they didn’t need to take them out. A shot was fired, and the two of their big caps were also saved by the guards under Shang Zhen’s persuasion.

This is fighting behind enemy lines. If the Japanese army fires flares and sees two men wearing big caps, the lives of the two officers will be in danger.

In this way, Liu Chengyi knew that he had completely become a spectator.

But come to think of it, his brigade commander really has no experience in fighting behind enemy lines, so it’s okay to see whether Shang Zhen and the others are operating behind enemy lines. The current situation is no different from his own brigade commander carrying a gun into battle. up.

The team moved forward in silence, with the sound of rustling footsteps and the rustling of clothes in the ears.

Because they were marching in the dark or in the direction of the Japanese army, they did not walk fast. Liu Chengyi knew that Shang Zhen personally led the team ahead.

It’s just that he couldn’t figure out why Shang Zhen transferred that stupid old man to the front?

To be honest, Liu Chengyi already fell in love with that taciturn but powerful soldier in his heart. Perhaps because of his good skills, Shang Zhen needed him to go to the front to kill the Japanese sentry.

It was time for the team to employ people, so Liu Chengyi could only bury in his heart the idea of ​​taking the big fool as his personal guard.

As a brigade commander, Liu Chengyi undoubtedly preferred to line up on the opposite side of the Japanese army.

However, the enemy is strong and we are weak. If he continues to fight in the usual way, he knows that even if he completes the mission given by the army commander Yu Xiuzhong, there will be nothing left for his brigade if he fights the best.

Therefore, he could only boldly delegate power, separate a brigade and three regiments to fight on their own, and harass the rear of the Japanese army in order to survive in danger. The one behind Shang Zhen’s guard company still has a regiment of troops.

Of course, there are not many troops in this regiment now, and there are less than a thousand people left.

In view of the integrity of the guard company’s organizational system, the guard company is at the forefront. It not only serves as a pioneer but also searches for the enemy. If a suitable target is found, it can also be surrounded and wiped out for a quick battle.

In fact, Liu Chengyi was not at all satisfied with Shang Zhen’s plan to go behind the enemy’s rear, not only was he dissatisfied, he even thought it was nonsense!

They didn’t say they didn’t know anything about the situation of the Japanese army. Even if they knew something, but now it was dark, the genius knew where the Japanese army was fortified and where the most troops were stationed.

But as the brigade commander, the result of his repeated thinking is that although Shang Zhen’s style of play is useless, it is still more than their remaining troops defending the position. Let the horse be treated as a live horse doctor.

When Liu Chengyi was discussing with Li Xiang, Li Xiang said, no matter how Shang Zhen fights like this, the rest of us will always be more than the rest of us defending the position, right?

Although Li Xiang only used a discussing tone when he said this to him, it showed that his chief of staff did not have much confidence in Shang Zhen’s style of play.

Alright, alright, let’s be honest, at that time Liu Chengyi was full of helplessness and could only say so.

Under Shang Zhen’s order, the guards dealt with all the objects that tend to shine in the dark accordingly.

There are not a few of them using Japanese bayonets now.

The steel mouth of the Japanese bayonet is good and long, but it was polished and shiny when it left the factory. The soldiers naturally need to put the bayonet in the scabbard. As for those without the scabbard, they also need to wrap it with cloth. .

Fortunately, the Northeast Army is also poor now, and no one wears a helmet. The firearms are also old. Although there are many box cannons, they will not emit the roasted blue light under the possible light source (such as the light of the Japanese flares).

In the darkness of night, such a team of thousands of people zigzags forward under the guidance of the people in front.

As I said before, what we are fighting now is one front, one line. It is impossible for the Japanese army to spread out all their troops evenly, and the Japanese army never thought that the Northeast Army would take advantage of the night to infiltrate them.

As long as Shang Zhen and the others searched ahead and did not disturb the Japanese sentries or directly led large troops into the range of Japanese fire, the battle would not happen soon.

Of course, this is a matter of probability.

And in order to avoid encountering the Japanese army in the old days, Liu Chengyi knew that Shang Zhen also thought of a way.

In charge of the search in the front, apart from Shang Zhen and his own combat backbone~www.readwn.com~, more than ten signal soldiers from their brigade were transferred here.

The weather is getting hotter now, and the Japanese soldiers in the mountains don’t need to light fires to keep warm, and it becomes pitch black everywhere, so it becomes very important for those who are in charge of searching in front to be familiar with the terrain, at least they can know where is the ditch Where is the ridge, where is the mountain, and these are naturally the most familiar to the signal soldiers of the various departments in the brigade.

In the original field command system of the Northeast Army, there was also a telephone connection between the positions and the rear.

But after entering the customs, with the consumption of various materials and equipment, the communication method that seems to be very advanced nowadays is finally replaced by the legs of the signal soldier.

But even so, now that they have really entered the march in the dark, the speed is still not fast, and orders to wait in place come from the front from time to time.

Stopping and walking like this, more than an hour passed, Liu Chengyi felt that his team had only walked four or five miles, and he regretted it a little. He didn’t know whether it was right to let Shang Zhen “play around” like this.

But there is no medicine for regret in the world, and now he can only endure it.

After walking forward for a few miles intermittently like this, there was news from the front that he was on standby. At this time, the brigade commander Liu Chengyi saw a fire a few hundred meters ahead to the right.

The Japanese army also belongs to the mountains and fields, and the presence of fire means that there are Japanese troops, and it should also be a large Japanese army or a temporary logistics base for the rear hospital.

If it was only a small group of Japanese combat troops, it would be impossible to show the fire, and in the darkness around the fire, there must be Japanese guard posts or guard troops.

I don’t know how Shang Zhen and the others got around this time without disturbing the Japanese army, Liu Chengyi thought to himself.

Unbeknownst to him, Shang Zhen and the others who were at the front were already discussing whether they should attack the Japanese army under the fire.
