After the fat man deployed his troops properly, he hurriedly took a company of scout brothers out to reconnoitre, and now at this time, the radio is gone, and he can only rely on people's legs to transmit the news.
The fat man took his brothers all the way to the north, due to the Kuomintang recalcitrant army attacking here, resulting in many villages along the way almost no people, it is estimated that the New Fourth Army they in order to clear the wilderness, with the people evacuated to the north of the mountains, so the fat man they rushed to the road for a day, stunned did not meet a fellow countryman, passed through a few villages are also empty, not to mention people, that is, even livestock did not touch one, the surroundings are quiet, do not see a trace of life, in this full of vitality in the summer, It looks particularly desolate.
Seeing that the sky was about to darken, there was a large dark cloud in the west, and it was going to rain, it was estimated that looking at the posture of this dark cloud, this shower would not be too small, and the fat man immediately ordered the brothers to quickly find a village to hide, and then leave after avoiding the heavy rain.
The brothers rushed all the way to an abandoned village, found a spacious compound and walked in, it was empty, the owner seemed to have taken his family out of the house, this is a big house with Jiangnan characteristics, there are seven or eight houses before and after, all are civil structures, antique, the doors and windows are engraved with various exquisite patterns, it seems that the owner is also a well-off family, at least a scholarly family of this kind of cultured people.
When the fat man saw it, he hurriedly told the brothers not to enter the house, just hide under the eaves to hide from the rain, don't break in casually, and damage the things in the house, we are also the New Fourth Army now, and we have to abide by the three major disciplines and eight points of attention Although our independent brigade did this before, we will never easily move the common people to a single straw hair, but this time, the identity is different, we have to pay more attention to the image, otherwise we will give Chen Guofu and them a smile.
A thunderclap suddenly sounded from the flat ground, and then a dazzling and shining electric light shot through the earth, and the raindrops of soybeans immediately fell, and soon there were beautiful small splashes in the yard.
The fat man and his brothers crowded under the eaves to avoid the sudden heavy rainstorm, and the fat man was still worried about Xiao Liu and his mother and son in the back, and I don't know if they found a place to shelter from the rain or continued to travel in the storm.
Since having a lovely son, the fat man has become sentimental, and the love of children has grown, he is not easily emotional, but now he has become more humane than before, often thinking of Xiao Liu and his mother and son on the march, sometimes even the fat man himself feels a little sissy, not as neat and neat as before, vigorous and resolute, always feel that there is something in the heart, and can not let go of the same.
Just when the fat man was missing his relatives, suddenly the two brothers who were in charge of guarding outside came back and reported: "Tuanzao, an unknown number of figures were found in front of the village, which did not look like ordinary people fleeing, and were hurrying towards the village, probably coming here to take shelter from the rain." ” The fat man let out an "ah", hurriedly jumped up and asked his brother, "You don't see who those people are?"
"The rain is too heavy and the distance is so far away that we can't see clearly."
The brother replied.
The fat man's nerves became tense again, and he ordered his men to quickly seize the commanding heights in the courtyard, prepare for battle, and then send the two brothers to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, and immediately send a signal flare to warn if there was a situation.
At this time, the other two brothers in charge of reconnaissance came back to report to the fat man: "Tuanza, there is a group of national troops outside the village, the number is about one battalion, it is estimated that it is the Kuomintang recalcitrant troops who attacked the Jiangbei detachment of the New Fourth Army. ” As soon as the fat man heard this, it turned out to be a stubborn Kuomintang army that had suffered a defeat, and it was not easy to do, so he immediately changed the battle deployment, ordered a platoon to go out to the entrance of the village, lured these enemies into the village, and the second and third platoons respectively detoured behind the enemy, and pressed up together with his red signal flare, and wiped out all the remnants of this group.
Just when the fat man changed his combat deployment and was ready to cuddle grass and fight rabbits in this village to eliminate the enemy who had been defeated and withdrawn, Zhou Wu and Ding Ning were also hiding from the sudden heavy rain in a village behind them at the moment, looking at the non-stop heavy rain outside, Zhou Wu said to Ding Ning: "Ding Ning, I don't know where the fat man is now, have they found out the news of the New Fourth Army, the wounded brothers in front don't know what happened, if they can't find a place to shelter from the rain in this weather, But it's not good, once the wound gets water, it will definitely suppurate and infect, and our medicine is almost gone, and if many more wounded people die, it will be very harmful to our combat effectiveness in the future.
Zhou Wu was worried about the safety of the wounded brothers in the health company, afraid that they would not be able to hide from the rain and make their injuries worsen, but it would be troublesome.
"Brigade seat, the fat man who led the team, he should know about this matter, plus the health company is led by Commander Shi and Xiao Shen, he should be able to deal with this kind of emergency, what I'm worried about now is not this weather problem, although this rainstorm fish market is big, but after all, it will stop later, what I'm worried about is that they suddenly encountered an enemy of unknown origin on the way, if the fat man loses the other, then the safety of the health company and the wounded brothers will be in suspense."
Ding Ning was not so worried about the rain as he was worried about encountering the enemy, and he didn't care about protecting the unarmed health company and the wounded.
Zhou Wu listened to Ding Ning's worries, and showed a worried look on his face, this fat man is really hard to say, he forgets that there are more important things when he sees an enemy, and he can't care about protecting the health company behind him and those who are seriously injured, and if he doesn't get it right, something will go wrong.
The more Zhou Wu thought about it, the more uneasy he became, and hurriedly took his brothers to the front to look for the fat man, but was stopped by Ding Ning: "Luzao, we don't know where the fat man and them have arrived now, don't worry, let's see the situation, and even if we want to go, we have to wait for this heavy rainstorm to stop." ” Zhou Wu listened and sat down, and at this time, Ge Sanmin, the commander of the second regiment, ran in and said to Zhou Wu breathlessly: "Brigade seat, according to the brothers who came back from the previous regiment, the fat man encountered a Kuomintang stubborn army in a village in front of them, and they are arranging troops to guard the village. ” When Zhou Wu heard this, his heart trembled suddenly, it was really a pot that could not be opened, the Kuomintang recalcitrant army still smelled the traces, pounced, and hurriedly asked: "How many people and equipment are there in those enemies" Zhou Wu was worried that a group would fall into the encirclement set up by the enemy, if the fat man and they all fell into the enemy's heavy encirclement, it would be miserable, not only the regiment and the health company in front, as well as so many light and serious wounded of thousands of numbers, were not guaranteed, but also directly posed a fatal threat to the middle of their side, What this long snake formation is now on the march is most afraid of pinching the head and removing the tail, and then being cut off by the enemy, and it will be impossible to organize forces to disperse and break through at that time.
"Oh, according to the brothers of the first regiment, the fat man personally led the brothers of a company to the northwest of the team for more than ten miles and encountered this group of enemies, the enemy probably has a battalion or so, it is estimated that he has just retreated from the front line, the fat man wants to beat the rabbits with grass and solve this group of enemies."
Ge Sanmin said to Zhou Wu.
"Hey, this fat man, as soon as he sees an enemy, there is a battle to fight, he is impulsive, they go to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, they can completely avoid this enemy, go back to the ranks, now the weather is so bad, the enemy situation is unknown, in case the enemy comes not a battalion, this battle starts, there are a large number of Kuomintang recalcitrant troops stationed around this area, as soon as they hear the gunshots, they will definitely arrive immediately, when the time comes, they will be surrounded by the enemy, the fat man will have a hard time, The most troublesome thing is that behind them there are a large number of ineffective medical companies and light and seriously wounded soldiers, once they are entangled by the enemy, the consequences are unimaginable.
Zhou Wu said angrily.
This fat man always makes his own decisions, and when he sees a fight, he gets excited, and forgets what he is doing as a leader.
Ding Ning saw that Zhou Wu was so anxious that he hurriedly persuaded: "Brigade seat, I don't think the situation is as serious as we imagined, maybe those enemies are really the remnants of the soldiers who have just been defeated and retreated, if this is the case, it means that we are not far from Chen Guofu and them, think about it, who else can beat these Kuomintang troops in this place except for the New Fourth Army?"
"Oh, then hurry up and send someone to support the fat man, and by the way, find out about the situation of the New Fourth Army, we have already lost so many brothers in Gaoyou Lake, we can't lose brothers on the way."
Zhou Wu said.
Ding Ning just wanted to open his mouth and ask Ge Sanmin to take the men and horses to support the fat man, Zhou Wu suddenly said: "Ding Ning, Ge Sanmin will stay in the middle to cover the brigade headquarters and the villagers, so many unarmed fellows, it is not easy to protect them, I think I will bring a company of brothers to support the fat man, by the way, find out if there is any news of Chen Guofu and them in front, Ding Ning, you and Ge Sanmin are in the middle of the road, if necessary, you can directly transfer the three regiments behind the break, you don't need to ask me." ” As soon as Ding Ning heard that Zhou Wu was going to bring a company of brothers to support, he immediately shook his head and disagreed: "What about this brigade, you are the backbone of our independent brigade, all major decisions have to be made by you, in case you encounter any danger, what do you let us do" Ding Ning was worried that Zhou Wu would encounter danger when he went, which would be very unfavorable to the independent brigade, so he dissuaded Zhou Wu and insisted that it would be safer for Ge Sanmin to lead the team to the rescue. t1706231537:
