The operational headquarters on the north bank of the Huai River looks like a simple home, with a complete set of tables and chairs, and even a bed.A huge sand table is placed in the center, on which are placed flags marking the identities of China and Japan.As soon as he came in, Wu Qi motioned for all the officers who were working inside to go out, and asked the guards to guard the door, looking very solemn.Gao Dong watched from the sidelines, and vaguely felt that something big was about to happen."
Something is wrong, Captain Gao."
Seeing that all the people were gone, Wu Qi immediately changed from a majestic posture to a sad look.Wang Wei, the brigade commander of the Sichuan Army beside him, also showed worry at this moment."
What's the matter?"
asked Gao Dong."
Our supply line was cut off by the Japanese army, and the Japanese army attacking Xuzhou from the north cut off the supply line.The Theater Command sent us an order to take care of the supply on our own, and it would take at least ten days to open this supply line.But we don't even have food for tonight, and the three armies have not moved the grain and grass first, so how can we hold on to this place. ”After Wu Qi finished speaking, he walked back and forth, and Wang Wei was equally silent.Gao Dong knew that he was right, the soldiers could go hungry to resist the Japanese, or they could fight with the determination to die.However, if there is no supply for a long time, this will greatly reduce morale and combat effectiveness, and how to hold on to the north bank of the Huai River when the time comes, this is indeed a big deal."
Captain Gao, we came to you because we knew that the New Fourth Army had a lot of methods in this area.Can you please ask the New Fourth Army to get us some food to solve our urgent needs, brother, I am very grateful. ”Wu Qi came back after two turns, and immediately said what he thought.Everyone knows that the New Fourth Army has been active in the rear of the Japanese army since its founding, and it has a large mass base by occupying the rural areas.They were more familiar with the local terrain, and some of the roads that the Japanese army did not take were able to pass through the New Fourth Army.If the New Fourth Army can help solve the food problem, then there is basically no need to worry.Although the idea was good, there was no way to implement it, because Gao Dong did not have any connection with the New Fourth Army at all.At that time, he only agreed to join the sequence of joining the New Fourth Army, and the title of this independent brigade was also given by him later, and it had not yet been recognized by the headquarters of the New Fourth Army.Not to mention contacting the New Fourth Army and asking them to arrange food for them.But these problems are no longer a problem here in Gaodong.A person who was born in special forces can survive in the rear of the enemy without any supplies or any backup, will he still be afraid of not having any supplies?"
No problem" Almost at the same time as Wu Qi finished speaking, Gao Dong replied with a smile.Gao Dong's readily agreed that Wu Qi and Wang Wei were immediately stunned at the same time.It's just that the difference is that Wu Qi is excited, while Wang Wei is deeply confused.Wu Qi had seen Gao Dong crisscross the battlefield with one man and one horse, and led surprise soldiers to raid the Japanese camp, and finally left a thunderbolt to blow up the Japanese pursuers.This made him already see Gao Dong as a god-like existence, and naturally believed everything he said.Wang Wei didn't believe it, although he had heard Wu Qi's introduction to him.But after all, Wang Wei looked down on the New Fourth Army and thought that they were many levels lower than himself.He always felt that Wu Qi's words were exaggerating, and now that he saw Gao Dong agreeing so readily, he couldn't help but be even more puzzled."
Captain Gao, we have about 15,000 people here, and we need to provide at least ten days of military rations.This is not a small amount, you are sure you can do it," Wang Wei said uneasily.Gao Dong smiled slightly: "I, Gao Dong, have never counted.Brigadier Wang, tomorrow morning, I will definitely let you see what you want. ”"Okay, Captain Gao is quick to talk, I, Wu Qi, admire a man like you the most.It is really a blessing for China for the New Fourth Army to have such a talent as Captain Gao. ”Wu Qi laughed, but Wang Wei still had a face full of disbelief.However, Wu Qi was present, but he didn't show it, but he was thinking in his heart, when Gao Dong couldn't hand over the military rations tomorrow, how should he solve the problem of the soldiers' satiety.Gao Dong saw Wang Wei's thoughts at a glance, and didn't say much at the moment, hurriedly said goodbye to Wu Qi and Wang Wei, and walked towards his own independent brigade."
Brother Wu, do you think he will run away" When Gao Dong left, Wang Wei asked uneasily.Wu Qi's face sank at the moment, and he said very seriously: "Captain Gao is the most bloody man I have seen in the army for so long.I, Wu Qi, vouch for it with my personality, as long as Captain Gao says it, he will definitely be able to do it.Brother Wang, don't worry, Captain Gao is not the person you think, tomorrow morning, you will get to know him again. ”Wang Wei smiled and nodded, but in his heart, he still didn't believe it.Gao Dong hurriedly returned to the place where the independent brigade was stationed, and the team members were hurrying to rest.After coming here, he took the initiative to ask to guard a position, and Wu Qi did not shirk it, and directly selected a position for Gao Dong.It's just that compared to the front line, it is a little further back and belongs to the second line of defense, Wu Qi is still a little worried about Gaodong's identity as the New Fourth Army, so he chose to do so."
Captain, what's going on over there with the devils?"
Lin Fan stood up and handed Gao Dong a glass of water.Gao Dong took it and raised his neck to drink it dry, wiped his lips and said, "The devils are busy building a bamboo raft, maybe they want to play rafting with heavy weapons."
The devil's artillery is still so fierce, it must be delaying time, and by the way, we will blow up our position to the bottom, and we will not attack until tomorrow. ”Lin Fan nodded and stopped talking, but Gao Dong smiled mysteriously: "But the devils don't make trouble for us, I want to find trouble for them." ”As soon as Gao Dong said this, the people around him immediately became energetic.Hu Xinghan raised his ears, Lie San and Ergou and others surrounded one after another, and even Wang Li, who had never spoken much, cast a curious gaze.Gao Dong smiled: "The devil's army is attacking in the direction of Xuzhou, and there are two divisions of Japanese troops on our opposite side.It just so happens that we are short of something, brothers, and I will take you to borrow something from the devil tonight. ”The sun was setting, and the devil's artillery fire was still fierce.As if their shells were going to be scrapped if they weren't finished, they had to be tilted out as soon as possible.The devils made very fast progress in making wooden rafts and bamboo rafts, and a large number of troops were sent out to do lumberjacks, and the whole devil's army was in full swing.As the sky grew darker and sunk, the Japanese set up torches on the banks of the Huai River and built rafts overnight in front of the Chinese defenders on the opposite side.The smell of rice wafted from the other side of the river to the positions of the Chinese defenders, making the Chinese defenders, who had run out of food, suddenly hungry.Wang Wei paced back and forth in a distraught manner, and from time to time he had to go out to see the direction of the independent brigade's defensive line.There were only a few lights on, and there was a dead silence, without any sound."
Brother Wu, why is there still no movement.Even if he goes to ask the New Fourth Army for help now, I'm afraid he won't be able to deliver food tomorrow morning," Wang Wei said anxiously to the weapon.Wu Qi looked leisurely in the world, leaned back on the chair with his legs crossed, smoked a cigarette and said lazily: "Brother Wang, don't worry."
Captain Gao has always been unexpected, and he does things unexpectedly.He said that if he could do it, he would definitely be able to do it.Quiet, quiet, you just have to wait quietly. ”Wang Weixin said that your heart is really wide, tens of thousands of soldiers are hungry, do you actually ask me to drink and fart quietly, but he can't say this, after all, they are all senior generals, so they can only keep their heads down and continue to spin around.As the night deepened, there was still no movement in the direction of the independent brigade.For example, their artillery fire became more intense at night, and it seemed that after learning the previous lesson, they had to prevent the daring squadron from sneaking up at night.The Japanese soldiers on the riverbank worked harder, and the bamboo and wooden rafts had been piled up into a hill.At this rate, in a few hours, the little devils will be able to form a drifting army to cross the Huai River.By late at night, in the direction of the Separate Brigade.A team of 200 men quietly walked out of the front and marched towards the bank of the Huai River.The speed of this group of people was very fast, and the movement was very quiet, and the national troops in the next position did not even find anything.Soon, this team of 200 people came to the bank of the Huai River.There are many boats here, from large commercial tugboats to small fishing boats for fishermen, all of which have been requisitioned by the national army."
We went by fishing boats, with two boats on the back of each boat.Avoid the front of the Japanese army and land from the side. ”Gao Dong got into a boat, and the brief order was quickly conveyed.This 200-strong detachment was carefully selected by Gao Dong from a force of 2,000 people, and it is an elite unit whose combat effectiveness has even surpassed that of the Japanese army so far.Gao Dong is going to complete another special operation, so many people have reached the limit.The boats slowly leaned together in the moonless darkness, and for fear of making a loud noise and being swept away by the current, Gao Dong let all the boats pull together with ropes, and then headed for the other side of the river.The Japanese lit up the other side of the river with torches, and from time to time searchlights strafed back and forth.The result was that they were blind, unable to see what was going on on the dark river in a brightly lit place.Gao Dong took advantage of the gap between the Japanese and led them, and drove a large number of fishing boats to smoothly bypass the frontal defense line of the Japanese and sail downstream.After almost three kilometers downstream, the Japanese defenses were almost invisible, but there were still quite a few outposts here.Gao Dong motioned for Lin Fan to take people ashore first to solve the secret whistle of those devils.Ten minutes later, Lin Fan sent a secret message on the bank of the river.Gao Dong immediately ordered all the ships to dock and left people to guard the place."
Now, the action begins."
Gao Dong led the people and rushed towards the darkness ahead
