under fire

Chapter 147

"report!"

"what's up?"

"Urgent order from the division headquarters!" A supplementary regiment guard appeared at the door, followed by the dusty division headquarters correspondent.

"What order? Hurry up, bring it here." The head of the supplementary team was not polite, pushed the water tank in front of the correspondent, and stretched out his hand.

An unsealed letter was pulled out of the bag and handed over with both hands.

"Military secrets related to each division and each brigade (especially our army's operations and garrisons) are not allowed to be clearly stated in the telegram, so as not to be eavesdropped by Japanese secret agents." I read every word slowly.

"We don't have a radio station, so this order is useless to us." Head Lu felt that this order was nonsense.

After the order was read, the correspondent continued to dictate: "In addition, the division headquarters has been transferred, and the division headquarters ordered: All combat units in the mountains, close to the headquarters, if conditions permit, immediately approach the Eighth Route Army headquarters for support at all costs, and the headquarters Announcement: Chief of Staff sacrificed!"

The order was incoherent, and it was only dictated but not written. It seemed that the situation was extremely urgent and there were so many local troops. Perhaps there was no time to write the order into words. The key point was the sacrifice of the chief of staff.

"What did you say?"

"The chief of staff died?..."

The roar was endless.



"Report:"

A sound of excitement at the door outside the house broke the sad atmosphere.

The correspondent who went to the division headquarters came back. Compared with the two regiment heads who were depressed and immersed in the grief of losing the old leader and chief of staff, this correspondent was full of energy and lack of vision.

After entering the door, pour water first, drink until the stomach shakes loudly, and then put down the broken tea mug, only to suddenly realize that the atmosphere is not right.

"Regimental Commander, er, what happened? Er, on the way to the division headquarters, I met a correspondent sent by the special agent company in the division. The correspondent was exempted from the task of reporting to the independent regiment. We exchanged information and got some information."

"what news?"

"The devil's advance team suddenly attacked the division headquarters. Fortunately, the division headquarters had been transferred three hours in advance, and the division had been divided into echelons to move to the mountains. At present, the division headquarters' whereabouts are unknown."

"Where unknown? You call this news?"

"Uh, the direction of the division command and the special task force should be southward. The correspondent didn't tell me where they went, and if they said they shouldn't ask, don't ask!"

"Should? Xiangnan, uh, didn't the correspondent of the secret service company say? Is this a good thing? As for the division headquarters going south!" Fingers slid on the map on the table.

"We are in the south and east of the division headquarters." Head Lu looked anxiously at the head of the brother regiment!
"Hey, I thought so too!"

"If you are told to go to the Anti-Japanese University to study, if you don't go, it will be difficult to look at a map!" Captain Lu said with a black line.

"None of your business? Uh, order, order the guard company to move west immediately, no matter the roads or roads, conduct a comprehensive search, we must find the division headquarters, and then send someone back to report the news, and the others stay behind to defend the division headquarters!"

"Are you going to serve as king? You still have a guard company? Forget it, let's not talk about this, the division ordered the combat troops to go north to reinforce the headquarters!" Head Lu felt that the most urgent thing was to solve the siege of the headquarters. Busy reminder.

"Headquarters? Hehe, it's King Qin anyway. I see, the devils just want to pass through our defense zone and continue to besiege the headquarters. They want to form another encirclement in the south. This is a posture of killing them all. I won't be fooled!"

"The little devil really has a lot of appetite. It's probably useless for us to go to reinforce the headquarters, but the order to reinforce the headquarters must be carried out!" Captain Lu continued to think while talking.

"You haven't figured it out yet. The first goal of the devils in the south must be going to the division headquarters. Old Lu, since the devils are eager to go north, the division has orders. Otherwise, I will support a company for you, and you go to reinforce it." Headquarters, our supplementary regiment will fight the devils in this mountain, so you will have no worries in the future!"

With a slap on the table, Captain Lu stood up with a gloomy face, "This is a task for the division to replenish the regiment for you, you can solve it yourself!"

"We are not familiar with the terrain at the headquarters. It's so far away. It took at least three days in the past, and the day lily was cold! You have few people, so it's just right to go! You see, the devil brigade is right behind now, and this is a big one." Problem! With your small body, it's useless to stay, you can withstand a ghost!"

"Oh, this matter worries me. Why am I so unlucky? According to what you said, I was forced to run for hundreds of miles by the devil, and I almost passed the No. 1 Taihang Mountain vertically?"

"Then don't rest, go to the division headquarters now, if you are lucky, you can beat that group of advance teams, don't say brothers are unjust, I will support you with a company, that's enough, Wang Penglian, I'll make up for you, you take it away .”

"Then I have to thank you? Tell me what is the condition?"

"Who do you think I am? Hehe!"

"Don't say those useless things!"

"Thirty guns, uh, lend me another machine gun, bullets, thirty guns, with four hundred rounds, not too much!"

"Borrow? Will you pay back if you borrow it? Look at your virtue. If I borrow it from you, I will use a fire stick to beat devils?"

"Don't be so stingy, I saw it earlier, your soldiers, only those female militiamen have a lot of long and short guns, and I don't know which of your ancestral graves has smoked, and there are so many good things!"

"Well, that's okay, you give me a company, I'll be generous, and I'll give you [-] rounds of ammunition, the division headquarters, you have to watch out, these devils, you have to stop them no matter what, and you must ensure the safety of the personnel transferred out of the division headquarters! "

"I'm lending you a company, not giving it to you, so don't mess it up. As for this place, don't worry, our other two battalions will come around from the mountains soon. Damn it, I beat him to death. Looking for Ya, well, the headquarters is taken away, so the division has to ensure safety! We have to make a total calculation!"

It is a fine tradition to support and help each other.

To get to the headquarters, you have to go north and pass the division headquarters first. It's not too far. It takes half a day. Then go to the headquarters for eighty miles. It is estimated that you will encounter devils on the periphery.

Today's division headquarters is in a small basin surrounded by mountains, people come and go, and the setting sun is about to set through the gaps in the clouds.

The soldiers in the feces and yellow uniforms demolished the house and set fire to it, sweating profusely. After searching for the bodies of two devils for a long time, they came out.

The major who arrived first leaned on his command knife and posed in the most satisfactory majestic posture for the military reporters to take pictures.

The eighth road was not lit. Look at the youthful bricks and blue tiles of the division headquarters of the eighth road. It will not be lit for a while. The warriors lit up the thatched roof house, and they have no interest in setting fire.

He staggered and snored on the spot.

Continue to chase?After reconnaissance for a long time, I didn't figure out the whereabouts of the eight roads. The advance team said that the eight roads ran south. Is it possible?
All intersections in the south are blocked everywhere, unless the eight roads become monkeys and can climb mountains and mountains.

The thing I regret most about this attack is that I didn’t bring the security forces with me. I had to carry all the luggage by myself. Walking empty-handed in the mountains seemed to be filled with lead. I walked for several days in full armor, didn’t sleep well, and was exhausted!

There were so many people and so many mosquitoes that there were few flat places on the marching road. Finally, I was relieved that there were large and small bags on my head, and there was a place to lie down and rest.
