"Yes, we'll go back right away," the Scout brother hurriedly mounted his horse and turned around and hurried in the direction of Tianchang.
Zhou Wu and Ge Sanmin from their side came to report that they were ready and asked Zhou Wu when he would leave Zhou Wu asked Ding Ning: "Ding Ning, are you ready for that road?"
"It's almost ready, I think we can set off now, time is tight, it's good for us to strike early."
Ding Ning said.
Zhou Wu led Ge Sanmin and their men and horses in the direction of Yangzhou in the southeast, in order to be able to move quickly, Zhou Wu asked the brothers to all move lightly and throw away everything they didn't need to carry, except for the necessary guns, ammunition, dry food and water.
Along the way, there was no situation, in order to find out the movements of the little devil on the opposite side in time, Ge Sanmin sent many scout brothers on fast horses to reconnoiter in the direction of Yangzhou.
The two scout brothers along the way galloped more than 50 kilometers on fast horses and came to a small village called Liucun outside Yangzhou City, intending to dismount and rest for a while before continuing to hurry.
Suddenly, they realized that something was wrong in the village in front of them, how could they not even see a villager in the daytime, although this village is very small, not many villagers live here, but under normal circumstances, it is impossible for no one to be in the village in the daytime, and now is not the season for busy farming, where have these villagers gone Among the two scouts, there is a Shanghainese named Da Mao, a platoon commander, who followed Ge Sanmin from Shanghai, from his hometown to join the army to fight devils, and now he has become a platoon commander, although he is not very old, about 20 years old, but his mind is very flexible, calm in case of trouble, and he can use his brain.
Da Mao felt that this village was a little weird, so he decided to go and see the situation first, and let the other scout brother watch at the entrance of the village, pay attention to the situation on the road, and immediately fire the police if something happened.
Da Mao came to the village like a smoke, and found that every household was close to the door, and there was no one on a narrow street in the village.
Da Mao's body shook suddenly, it was broken, and there was a situation at the entrance of the village.
He hurriedly ran to the entrance of the village, only to see that the brother who had left the guard just now had been shot and fell to the ground, with a large pool of blood flowing around him, and the two fast horses ran away from the gunfire because they were frightened by the gunshots, and there were two corpses lying not far in front of the brother who was shot and fell to the ground.
Da Mao's heart froze, and he thought: Could it be that he met the scouts of the little devils here or the large army of devils coming from the direction of Yangzhou" Da Mao hurriedly hugged the brother who was shot and shook violently, but it was to no avail, the brother had already died, and his right hand was tightly holding the twenty-shot box cannon, obviously Da Mao could not ask this brother about the situation of the little devil who came to sneak attack.
Da Mao thought in his heart: It is estimated that this is the plainclothes sent by the little devils to reconnoitre, if the devil's army comes here, the situation will not be the case, at this time, a large number of little devils have already surrounded their side, yes, it must be the plainclothes reconnaissance sent by the devils, but the gunfire has already sounded, the little devils in plainclothes reconnaissance team or their large army must have heard it, and they will definitely rush towards this village, and the people in the village may have received the news that the little devils are coming over in advance.
I ran out of the village early to take refuge.
Now there is no room for hesitation, we must hurry back to report to Zhou Wu and them, otherwise when the little devil army chases after the general, it will be miserable, the fast horse that rode no longer knows where to run, Da Mao gritted his teeth, and it was too late to bury this sacrificed brother, and immediately went over to put away the weapons and other things on the sacrificed brother, because when they came out, they changed into civilian clothes for the convenience of reconnaissance, as long as these weapons and other things were put away, Even if the little devil who came from behind found the body of this sacrificial brother, he couldn't tell for a while that it was the scouts of the New Fourth Army who had come here, at least he could buy a little time for Zhou Wu and them in the back.
Da Mao moved the brother to the grass next to him, covered it with some branches and weeds, made a mark next to it, bowed to him and said, "Brother, I'm sorry, I have to rush back to report to the brigade, you can stay here, and when we come back, we will bury you properly." ” After the big Mao worshipped, he immediately pulled out his legs and ran in the direction of Zhou Wu and them, this way the big hair ran miserably, originally he rode a fast horse with four legs, but now he has to rely on his two legs to rush to that side, the fatigue and difficulty can be imagined, on the way, the big hair that ran so much that the bones of the body almost fell apart several times wanted to stop and rest, not to run, but I thought that Zhou Wu they still don't know the situation here, plus the brother who came out to reconnoiter the enemy with him died miserably, felt that if he didn't run back to tell Zhou Wu and them the news this time, the brother who died in the hands of the little devil in plainclothes would not let him go.
After the Da Mao brothers gritted their teeth and ran hard for two or three hours, he finally saw Zhou Wu and them who were desperately rushing to this side in front of him, and when he saw the blood-red red flag as bright as the morning glow, Da Mao fell to the ground with a pop and couldn't get up, several brothers in front of the team hurriedly helped him up, and Da Mao, who had been paralyzed and had no strength, walked slowly again, and walked to Zhou Wu and them, Zhou Wu looked at Da Mao's appearance, and knew that something must have happened in front of him. hurriedly greeted Shi Gazi of the health company who came with the team and asked him to quickly rescue Da Mao.
After the rescue of the commander of the health company and other military doctors, Da Mao was finally rescued from the dying of life, Da Mao slowly opened his eyes, looked at Zhou Wu in front of him, and struggled to make his mouth, Zhou Wu hurriedly put his ear to Da Mao's lips, only to hear Da Mao say to Zhou Wu in a faint gossamer voice: "Thirty kilometers away in a village in front of the devil's plainclothes, the scout brother who went with me has been killed, you go up quickly, snatch his body down, I made a mark there, But don't let the little devil find it and spoil that brother's body. ” After Da Mao finished his words with difficulty, he tilted his head and fainted, Zhou Wu thought that this Da Mao had sacrificed, and hurriedly shouted to the brothers of the health company: "Lao Shi, come and rescue Da Mao" Company Commander Shi and they rushed up, carried Da Mao to a high ground next to him, and hurriedly rescued him for a long time before he woke up Da Mao, Company Commander Shi looked at Da Mao, who was quite weak, and said to Zhou Wu: "Although Brother Da Mao has woken up, he is not out of danger, and he must quickly send someone to take him down and hand him over to Deputy Company Commander Shen." ” Zhou Wu immediately sent two brothers to carry Da Mao on a stretcher and evacuate with a doctor in the health company, asking them to escort Da Mao safely to Shen Jiabang, and when they got there, there would be Commander Wang and their medical soldiers to take over, so that Da Mao's life could be saved.
At the same time, Zhou Wu and Ding Ning, Ge Sanmin, and Niu Political Commissar spread out the map on the ground on the spot, analyzing the latest enemy situation from Da Mao, according to the latest enemy information provided by Da Mao, the devil is estimated to be twenty or thirty kilometers behind the village where they encountered Da Mao, if the distance is close, it is impossible for the devil army to hear the firefight on the edge of the village and not go out to chase after Da Mao, since Da Mao can run back, it means that the little devil is also a considerable distance from that village, It was almost the same distance between us and that village, and now that we knew that there were devils' troops over there, and we didn't know how many little devils were coming, we had to speed up our march and find out the weak points of the devil's team before the little devils arrived there, and then take the opportunity to give them a chance to take advantage of this encounter.
Ding Ning agreed with Zhou Wu's plan, Commissar Niu and Ge Sanmin had no opinion, Zhou Wu immediately got up, and said to his brothers: "Brothers, now we have to compete with the little devil who came from the opposite direction of Yangzhou, the distance we have to go to that village is almost the same as the distance from the little devil to the village, we now have to run over the wheel of the little devil's car on two legs, only in this way, can we take the lead in this battle and find the weak point of the little devil, otherwise we will face the danger of being dumpled by the devil."
Everyone gritted their teeth and ran, trying to get there before the little devil reached the village. ” As soon as Zhou Wu finished speaking, Political Commissar Niu and Political Commissar picked up: "What Regiment Leader Ma said just now was right.
Whether or not we can contain the little devils who came to reinforce Shen Jiabang this time is the key to this campaign, so to speak, the victory of this anti-clean-up battle is all on the side of our second regiment, as long as we resist the enemy's siege of Shen Jiabang here, those Wang puppet troops who have already penetrated into the ambush circle will be defeated, and it is a matter of time before they retreat and retreat.
"Commissar Niu served as the commissar of the Second Regiment.
At this time, two inspiring mobilization words still have a considerable effect on Ge Sanmin and his brothers.
Zhou Wu and they then began to run desperately again, the brothers who were already tired enough could only grit their teeth and run towards the front at this time, although there was still nearly thirty kilometers away from the destination in front, but after all, now the direction and goal are there, not like just now while groping and running, finally looking for those little devils who came out from the direction of Yangzhou to reinforce the little devils, and it was not in vain that this hard work was not in vain.
Zhou Wu and the others marched to a place more than ten kilometers away from the village, and met several other brothers who were sent out to reconnoitre, and they brought a more accurate and timely enemy situation: about ten kilometers behind the village in front, a large number of Japanese troops were found, and it was estimated that there was a wing of strength, armored vehicles opened the way, more than 10 cars, cavalry, and the others were light infantry of devils. t1706231537:
