The preparation battalion left the headquarters of the 27th Army and walked onto the main road.
It was said to be a main road, but in fact it was a relatively flat and wide dirt road.
When the troops walked on the road, it would inevitably produce a lot of dust.
Fortunately, the dirt road was very wide and well maintained. , allowing the tanks and armored vehicles of the assault column to drive past, so the assault column chose this march route.
The marching column of the preparation battalion is headed by the first company.
Some people from the first company are sent to search in front, and the rest of the people march normally in the rear, carrying guns.
The possibility of encountering the Japanese army during this march is unlikely, except for the search troops at the front. , the rest of the soldiers can march in a more relaxed way.
Zhang Wei was walking with the First Company.
The 27th Army headquarters was in an abandoned village.
There were no people on the road next to it.
The road was very quiet.
There were abandoned villages and vegetation on both sides of the road.
Zhang Wei had just taught him a lesson.
After the soldier got on the road, he talked and laughed with Qiu Wei for a while.
Such a stupid person, the two of them also I haven't seen him for a long time.
As for the soldier, he was beaten up by their officer.
The soldier was stabbed in the hand by Zhang Wei, and then he was beaten up by his own officer.
He was rolling around after being beaten.
While begging for mercy, the scene was so tragic that the soldiers were so frightened that they didn't dare to breathe.
The officer of the friendly army was almost shot by this ruffian.
The bullets were loaded and fired.
According to the rules, this guy was enough to be shot just for the crime of making things difficult for the officer.
Moreover, in addition, he also committed He was charged with causing trouble and rioting.
A sergeant went to make things difficult for a major battalion commander, but Zhang Wei finally begged for mercy.
Although this soldier was stupid and hateful, he would not be shot.
In the words of Zhang Wei and friendly army officers: "Save a bullet and give it to the little devil."
The final result was that he was promoted from a sergeant to a private, and was sent to carry ammunition boxes.
This idiot soldier managed to save his life.
On the broad road, the whole battalion marched smoothly.
The rearguard was the third company.
Qiu Kuangqi commanded the heavy equipment of the assault column to march one mile behind the preparation battalion to follow up.
Their marching formation was much larger than that of the infantry in the preparation camp, with horse-drawn 37-caliber anti-aircraft artillery, tanks, armored vehicles, and column cars.
A large number of heavy equipment marched behind.
The engines of cars and tanks made bursts of sound, causing dust to fly on the road.
The cars carried ammunition, food, fuel, and the wounded of the entire assault column.
Among them were wounded soldiers from the preparation camp.
The preparation battalion suffered more than half of its casualties in this battle in eastern Henan.
The injured soldiers were sent to the nearest friendly military hospital.
Before leaving, Madman Qiu picked up all the wounded soldiers and dragged them away in cars.
Such injured soldiers Soldiers who have fought in the war are the most precious.
A soldier who has experienced a war and survived is definitely a valuable asset in the army.
The wounded soldiers were injured slightly or seriously.
The cars carrying the wounded soldiers had their ceilings set up to provide as much care as possible.
A better resting environment for wounded soldiers.
The most troublesome thing is those tanks.

Tanks are very expensive and have a high failure rate.
The tank soldiers drive carefully while also making preparations for repairs.
The tanks may break down after driving for a period of time.
The Soviets The T26 I was given was okay, with a relatively solid leather.
The most difficult thing to use was the Italian-made tank.
It had a small body and was difficult to service.
The engine kept stalling and would break down if a little sand got into it.
These Italian vehicles have a high failure rate, weak firepower, and thin armor.
The most troublesome thing for the armored soldiers of the assault column is these Italian light tanks.
The only advantage is their flexibility and concealment during combat.
"The formation behind this is really big."
Qiu Wei sighed as he looked at the smoke and dust filling the sky behind the preparation camp.
"That's for sure, they are all big guys."
Zhang Wei looked at the road ahead.
"There are not many people in this place.
We have walked for so long and we haven't met anyone."
Zhang Wei raised his binoculars.
Except for the company of soldiers who opened the way in front, it can be said that there is no one inhabited.
"Qiu Wei, give orders to the second and third companies behind, pay attention to control the distance from the main force of the column, maintain contact, and prevent the distance from being too far."
"yes" The route of the entire assault column was to march south of Lanfeng and directly to Xinyang.
It was a war period now, and the place where they were preparing to set off was an abandoned village.
After years of war, that place was already sparsely populated, so the march was relatively difficult.
It was convenient and there were no troubles or obstacles.
At the beginning, I didn’t meet anyone at all, but as I continued to march deeper, people slowly began to appear.
Now is a period of war.
Behind every major battle is not only the mobilization of a large number of troops and the huge number of casualties, but also the transfer of tens of thousands of ruins, refugees, and people.
After the preparation camp has marched for a certain distance, Pedestrians began to appear, more and more as the troops advanced.
Among the crowd were people fleeing with their families and students in school uniforms, carrying huge book boxes and walking forward step by step.
Various means of transportation, including donkey carts, horse-drawn carriages, and even handcarts, were trudging along the road.
There were also some cars, some of which contained a large number of boxes of goods.
The goods were stacked high, exceeding the height of the carriages. , there are also cars with people sitting on them, and the cars are driving in the middle of the road, with people and various animals on both sides.
There were also many people rushing to get on the road, desperately rushing in front of cars on the main road.
All kinds of noises were intertwined with the sounds of cars and animal power.
You could also see people dying of hunger on both sides of the road.
Combined together, , It’s really a tragic scene.
"The road ahead is not easy to walk, it is getting more and more chaotic."
Qiu Wei said.
"It's good if I can walk.
I'm afraid that people and cars in front of me will block the road, which will be bad.
Then I won't even be able to walk."
Zhang Wei looked at the front and moved forward at a "turtle crawling" speed.
The people couldn't help but worry.
"Let the search troops in front come back quickly to report the situation."
Zhang Wei sent a messenger forward, and then sent someone to inform the main force of the column behind about the road conditions ahead, and suggested that they slow down appropriately to avoid crowding.
The large group of people in Wuyang Wuyang in front felt upset no matter how they looked at it.

Walking behind these people, no matter how fast they walked, the marching speed would be greatly reduced.
The messenger went over to search and called back the search soldiers in front.
The search soldiers panted and reported the situation ahead to Zhang Wei.
The convoy was filled with people, crowded with people, crowded with cars, all blocked up, and some who could not walk sat down where they were, almost blocking the main road.
The cars and people on the main road were still Not as fast as the people walking on both sides of the road, the people and cars on the main road are no longer crawling at the speed of a tortoise, but are moving forward little by little, almost at a standstill.
The situation that Zhang Wei least wanted to see happened.
The main road was almost blocked, which also meant that the heavy equipment of the assault column would have no way to go
