Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 91, A Reminder

The team set out in the early morning and did not arrive at a small mountain town until dark.

At this time, the sun had already set in the west, with only a cloud hanging on the western hilltop. Perhaps because the sun was still on the other side of the hill, the hilltop looked golden, and the mountains all looked like golden mountains. However, both the guerrillas and the transport team were exhausted and needed to find a place to rest, so no one was appreciating the beautiful scenery.

Fortunately, Zone 2 is located in the town, and arrangements have been made long ago. They have even prepared thick millet porridge and are waiting for everyone.

The person who handed over the task to this side was the old squad leader himself. No one knew what he was doing as an officer. However, Li Yuexuan didn't care about this. After eating two steamed breads with millet porridge and pickles, he fell asleep in the arranged camp. He slept until the early morning of the next day. After breakfast, the team continued to set off.

After a tiring day yesterday, we had to hurry up today. People who got up early were all sleepy. But there was also good news, that is, the supplies the team carried were reduced a lot! That's right, 4000 grenades had been transferred to Division 2 overnight, and everyone's pressure was obviously relieved.

The most intuitive feeling is that after breakfast, the march speed has become faster. And people like Zhao Danian, whose leg injuries have not yet healed, can rest on the horse. As for the supplies carried by the horses, they are placed on the vacated carts.

The team continued to march, with a clear river beside them and a fairly flat mountain road under their feet, and everyone's mood became better. An hour later, another relatively large village appeared in front of them, with some Eighth Route Army soldiers guarding outside, which seemed to be a relatively important place. Of course, Li Yuexuan had already learned about this place from the map, which was Gaohongkou, which was about to be attacked by the devils.

In their own base, the team did not slow down, and Gao Hongkou's team was not surprised at their arrival. No need to ask, they had received the news a long time ago.

At this time, Li Yuexuan also rode on a donkey. This was the team's care for him. According to everyone, you are a military doctor, a civilian, right? You need to rest well before you can treat everyone.

Li Yuexuan naturally accepted the kindness of his comrades, but the donkey under him was quite stubborn and was reluctant to be ridden. But it was okay, he was bought off with two carrots.

Gaohongkou, on the outer wall of the village, a soldier was holding a telescope, watching the people coming from the east. After seeing Li Yuexuan's face clearly, the soldier quickly put down the telescope, trotted to a cadre-like man and said a few words, then trotted down the wall and came to the road.

"Hello, instructor!" When everyone approached, a clear and loud voice made everyone look at this person.

Li Yuexuan also saw the soldier's face clearly. It was Comrade Li Tiezhu, one of his grenade launcher trainees. So he got off his donkey, walked quickly to Li Tiezhu, saluted him with a smile, and then said, "Comrade Li Tiezhu, you have graduated from the training team. Now we are revolutionary comrades!"

"Yes, instructor comrade!" Li Tiezhu happily held Li Yuexuan's hand, and then said: "When we left, we knew that we in Jin Cha Ji could make our own grenades, and we thought that one day we would be able to use our own grenades. Unexpectedly, our team received a lot of grenades early this morning! Our team leader knew that it was the technology provided by you, instructor, and asked me to come here specially to thank you!"

"Comrade Tiezhu, you are too polite. Comrade Captain is also too polite! We are all fighting against the Japanese, for national unity and national independence. My contribution is not worth mentioning!" Li Yuexuan said modestly. "Instructor, are you going to the 358th Brigade? They sent a cavalry company yesterday and are waiting in the south of the village. You can see them when you go over! Instructor, I have another mission. Let's say goodbye now!" After saying that, Li Tiezhu saluted and turned to leave.

"Tiezhu, wait a minute!" Li Yuexuan called out to everyone, and then said, "Remember what I told you about the diagonal sentry during the teaching? I see that you have brought a telescope now, and you have your own soldiers under you. You must hurry up and keep on guard! The Japanese are besieging us now, and we cannot let our guard down for even a moment!"

"Thank you instructor for the reminder. I have already put it to use! Hehe, my soldiers have now learned to do push-ups, 300 a day. Well... goodbye, instructor!" Li Tiezhu saluted and left, as if he was still at his post and could not leave for too long.

Li Yuexuan also climbed onto the donkey, and hurriedly caught up with the team that had already gone a long way away, and returned to his position.

As Li Tiezhu said, after passing Gaohongkou, we saw a cavalry company of the 358th Brigade waiting here. From a distance, the horses were brushed and their hairs were shiny, and the soldiers stood straight in front of the horses.

Seeing the protected transport team coming out of Gaohongkou, someone from the cavalry company left the team and talked to the old squad leader. Then, the team continued to move forward, but with the protection of the cavalry around them.

Looking at the cavalrymen around him, Li Yuexuan quickly took a look at the information and learned that the 358th Brigade arrived here after Gaohongkou was attacked. But now, they arrived here a few days earlier. Then, this is related to the small military workshop and the 6000 grenades. After all, this time the grenades were specially delivered to the 358th Brigade.

At the same time, Li Yuexuan also found the location of the 358th Brigade on the map. Very good, it is still more than 50 miles from here. No wonder we have to hurry up at dawn today. If we leave late, we will not be able to arrive!

The Red Army is not afraid of long marches, and they are not afraid of thousands of mountains and rivers! The Eighth Route Army also inherited the fine traditions of the Red Army, and everyone has a pair of iron feet. So, today's schedule is to hurry, hurry, and hurry... Finally, shortly after dark, at eight o'clock in the evening, everyone delivered the supplies to the 358th Brigade's base.

Looking at the time, it is already the end of October 38, and tomorrow is November.

"Old squad leader, when will we return to Division 3?" Li Yuexuan secretly asked the old squad leader during dinner.

"Return? No! We have to stay with the 358th Brigade for the next few days, and then find a main force of the Japanese devils and fight them. Otherwise, these 6000 grenades will be given in vain." The old squad leader was eager to try, but after he finished speaking, he continued to eat.
