Chapter 1172 The Feeling of Homecoming

Five days later.

The devils who attacked and suppressed in multiple ways gradually withdrew.

The soldiers of the Ninth Battalion finally set foot on the way home.

Through the marks left on the road, Ma Liang's platoon and the spy group were joined.

That's right, Ma Liang's class directly became a platoon.

As for the review of new recruits, we will talk about it later...

On the seventh day, the team entered the defense area of ​​the guerrilla detachment and sent ten rifles and one machine gun to thank the guerrilla detachment for taking care of the wounded.

The Secret Service Group and the Jiuying Division headed north, the Secret Service Group returned to the headquarters, and the direct men of the Jiuying Battalion went to the nearest Dabei Village.

On the tenth day, ahead, Dabeizhuang is in sight.

Along the way, people came out from the mountains everywhere.

Soldiers from Hao Ping's Third Battalion are organizing the people who have been transferred into the deep mountains to go home.

"The second battalion and the ninth battalion came out of the mountain?" Hao Ping looked at the soldiers who came to report in surprise.

"That's right, Battalion Commander Gao is lying on a stretcher, and there are still many friendly troops in the team, there must be more than 200 people."

He knew about the Second Battalion going to the south. As for Hu Yi, who went to the friendly army after the Chinese New Year, he had never seen him until now. Every meeting in the regiment was attended by Lao Qin Jinshan.

The division's former enemy headquarters and the independent regiment successfully avoided the devil's raid in advance because they received the news of the devil's raid in advance, and the ninth battalion set up a telephone outside the mountain.

People can escape, but temples cannot escape, and the loss of the independent group is also not small.

A large number of houses were burned and crops were destroyed.

The area around Sanjiaji, where the Second Battalion was stationed, was deserted, and the refugees who had just arrived had little property, so it was easy to move.

The devils all ran away before they came, so that the devils were not interested in setting fire to them.

Little was lost.

It is said that the base area established by the Ninth Battalion outside the mountain successfully escaped the raids, and not only did it not reduce its staff, it was still developing and growing during this period, and even established two fixed bases in the enemy-occupied area.

Hao Ping finally discovered that, unconsciously, there seemed to be a considerable distance between the third battalion and the ninth battalion.

In the past, compared with the Ninth Battalion, at least there was an advantage in manpower.

Now even an advantage is estimated to be lost.

The independent group moved away from Dabeizhuang to go to the wine station, and even Shiqianzhi was set up in the wine station.

It seems that it is not a problem to stay in the mountains all day if you have to find time to discuss with Wu Yan.

Regardless of why Hu Yigao Yidao emerged from the west, he began to think quickly about the development direction of Sanying.

The last twilight in the west faded away, and the light in the valley gradually dimmed.

The second battalion and the ninth battalion returned to Dabeizhuang before dark.

Gao Yidao got off the stretcher and walked around on crutches, looking at the familiar environment that was once again smoldering.

Hao Ping greeted Gao Yidao: "Are you hurt?"

Gao Yidao nodded: "I often walk by the river, how can I not get my feet wet?"

"Is there a lot of casualties?" Knowing that Gao Yidao took more than [-] people out and only a few dozen people came back, Hao Ping's tone didn't seem to be very sad, but there was an indescribable meaning.

Gao Yidao understood what Hao Ping meant, but he didn't explain: "Didn't you see it all?"

The company commander stayed in the south. He discussed with Hu Yi and planned to pull Hao Ping into the water.

Originally, he had already thought about the words to say, but suddenly he didn't want to say it to Hao Ping.

Hao Ping didn't notice the change in Gao Yidao's tone.
The muddy water river is still flowing, but the water in the river has been reduced by half.

The current independent regiment is seriously overstaffed, and there are more than 3000 people in one regiment and four battalions.

The group leader and political commissar who returned to the wine station saw it and were delighted.

Determined to reorganize the entire regiment in response to the superior's call to carry out wider guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines.

It is easy to carry out work such as conscription training and reconstruction.

However, the food problem has once again become a hurdle that cannot be overcome.

Hu Yi sat on the bank of the muddy water river in Dabei Village upstream, squinting at the distant mountains to the south.

Where there is a battle, there will be casualties. He has seen a lot of life and death. He thinks about problems in a different direction from many commanders.

He even sees farther than most people. It can also be said that he is looking in the wrong direction.

It is true that he went to a military academy, but he has no direction on how to win this anti-aggression war. Now he only has one thought in his mind, to fight back to Baishan Heishui.

It's not that he hadn't thought about it before, but given his position, thinking about it was just fantasy.

Hundreds of thousands of national army troops, in just one month, surrendered, died, and fell apart.

However, there is no shortage of passionate people among them.

Battalion Commander Lu, who was stationed west of Huangwei Mountain, led a company. Under the support of the Ninth Battalion, he had a chance to break through, but he resolutely died.

There was not a single survivor in the entire army field hospital.

Therefore, the red-eyed old bandit Qi killed all the puppet troops except Beng Yagou and another puppet army.

Take more than [-] wounded devils and throw them into the bushes to destroy the corpses and wipe out the traces.

Xiao Hongying had analyzed with him that such a big matter would never be concealed.

This matter must be reported to superiors.

At most, they will only be demoted, but they will definitely not be shot.

Of course, it's hard to say what position he will be reduced to.

Confinement is definitely indispensable...

The yard rented by Jiuying is still there.

The roof was also burnt to the ground.

Perhaps the devils found it troublesome to fill the well, but the well that Wu Shitou dug is still there.

Several soldiers were using buckets to pull the water out of the well, and proposed that the yard was dumped on the playground and soaked in the soil. Who knows if the devils have tampered with the well?

Wang Xiaosan, who was already the platoon leader, was instructing the cooking squad leader to cook dinner, using river water.

Rifles lined up against the kitchen wall.

A light leaked from the kitchen.

Xiao Hongying sat on the side, staring at Jing in a daze.

A dozen or so half-grown children appeared outside the base of the wall.

The voice of the child who had a feud with Xiao Hongying in the past suddenly came out from outside the wall: "Wonderful girl."

Xiao Hongying's thoughts were interrupted, she froze for a moment, got up quickly, went into the room and carried a bag on her body.

Soon, Xiao Hongying poked her head out from the wall by the gate, counted the number of people, then ordered the corresponding milk candy, thought for a while, picked out two more, and then threw the milk food Going out: "Call me sister, there are sweets to eat"

A group of children immediately went into chaos.

After a while, the two children raised their faces and asked in a daze, "There are two missing."

"If you call me sister, you will have it." Xiao Hongying threw away the two candies she picked out from her palm.

"Dream, you traitor, don't think that giving a candy will make us change our minds!" One of the older children looked up.

The two children of "Sister Hongying" and "Sister" who didn't get the candy immediately became traitors, and followed by holding the corners of their clothes into pockets.

Xiao Hongying threw the candy in her hands into the pockets of the two skinny children, after thinking about it, each of them threw another one.

The two children were so excited that their noses burst into bubbles.
The kids next to me quit...

Crazy Yang, who was wandering around, and Liu Yuanqing, who was on crutches, were coming here.

Xiao Hongying took out a handful of bullet casings from her pocket: "Let's make peace. One for each of us."

The eyes of the older children in the crowd glistened. This time the devils ran quickly to mop up the independent regiment. There was no large-scale battle with the enemy, and the bullet casings were not picked up. Seeing that the price offered by the little girl was quite high, he was a little hesitant.

Well, the little girl gritted her teeth and took out a large handful of round-tipped bullets: "One shot per person, change of mouth fee."

"What to change?"

"Call me the platoon leader from now on!"

"Don't do it."

Xiao Hongying put away the bullets: "Two shots per person! If you don't do it, pull it down."

"Okay..." The older child saw that the plot was successful, and then got a snot bubble.

Yang Chengzhi looked at the braid on the wall, and smiled half-smile: "Where's playing house?"

This person doesn't read the Three Character Classic anymore?Xiao Hongying was stunned for a moment: "Hey... the environment here is not bad, right?"

"You are a big girl, what's the point of riding on the wall?" Liu Yuanqing always felt that the scene in front of him was a bit weird. In the national army barracks, it is impossible for children to sneak into the camp.
What's more, this place should be regarded as the battalion headquarters of the Ninth Battalion. According to normal circumstances, a sentry post should be arranged at the door anyway.

Xiao Hongying then slid down from the wall: "Come in quickly, dinner will be served right away."

A group of silly children outside the wall turned their heads to look at these two unfamiliar Balu.

Because the military uniforms worn by these two or eight groups are different from what they often see.

It was also gray, but without patches, and there was a disc on the military cap he was wearing.

In their impression, it's not the people who can wear new clothes during the Chinese New Year, but usually the heads of state.
"Dinner is ready!" In the small kitchen of Jiuying, the squad leader yelled.

Waiting for the soldiers in the yard, they immediately stepped forward to carry the buckets and baskets.

The small courtyard is not big, and the soldiers of the Ninth Battalion who came back temporarily arranged to live in the roofless houses of the original First Battalion.

The children who got the bullets went directly to the barracks of the third battalion in a sneaky way.
