under fire

Chapter 44
An officer in his late thirties stood up, wearing a gray military cap, but no cap badge, just two black buttons, one close to the hat, and the other swaying, ready to escape at any time.

The vicissitudes of life between the brows under the brim of the hat, the wide belt around the waist is tightly tied, and the straps are also tightly wrapped, everything looks so neat and crisp, the military bearing is full of the whole body, the fly in the ointment is: there is nothing in the whole body. Showing fatigue, his whole body was muddy, the soldiers behind him, just like him, stopped, and nearly half of the soldiers stood there, all asleep.

The place of the wine station is not big, more than 100 people came at once, and they were crowded even standing.

Lao Qin, who had just arranged the wound number and supplies, and was about to lie down, was overjoyed when he got the news. He rushed to the sign of Jiuzhan Village at the entrance of the village and looked at Wang Penglian in front of him. He should have told Wang Peng that the commander's order was immediately. Go east out of Lvshuipu to meet Jiulian.

But looking at the soldiers who were unable to stand still, how could they go?The friendly army is also his own family, and the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers, so he hastened to send people to the other side of the river to gather some cooks.

Wang Xiaosan's cooking class was requisitioned by the head of Lu, and he had to eat breakfast before he could drive these family members away.

At present, the militiamen are basically out of the mountain, and Sun Cui is bound to take on the task of receiving Wang Penglian, and all the young and old in the village are dispatched.

There was no place for the wine station, and the ground was so wet that it was impossible to sleep. Most of the soldiers followed to the other side, entered the sheds, and fell asleep. Fortunately, it was summer, and they would not catch a cold without a quilt.

After arranging Wang Penglian's soldiers, Qin You led the yawning Captain Wang to his wooden hut. Wang Peng didn't see him at all. After entering the door, he grabbed the water glass and poured it violently: "When Xiao Bing arrived at our place, he said that Captain Lu would let him go. Let's come here in a hurry, what happened?"

Lao Qin filled the glass with water and said, "It's like this, we went out of the mountain a few days ago and followed up with"

It was only after the third sentence started, Qin You's broken wooden bed sounded like a sound of falling to the ground, followed by thunderous snoring.

Qin You knew that it was unrealistic to let them go any further at this time. It was two or three days' journey. Xiao Jia went to inform Wang Peng that he had gathered the news, and he did not delay for a moment. It was still raining today. Came here overnight.

With a sigh, he loosened Wang Peng's leggings, took off his wet shirt, and pulled up the thin quilt to cover his chest and abdomen.

The matter was not over yet, and he got a report from the sentinel as soon as he went out: Lao Niu brought the regiment's guard platoon, health team, and cooking team to the wine station. Squeezed next to Wang Peng, the two snored, one high and one low, singing and singing, one after another.

I have to say that the sanitation soldiers walk slowly. This time they came to the wine station with their backs on their backs. The girls who had never been to the wine station before had time to appreciate the different scenery of the wine station in the morning, so they devoted themselves to treating the wounded. I went to work and came very timely.

Lao Qin didn't understand a little, didn't they say that the girl's physical strength is not good?Why do they all come from Dabeizhuang, why are these lesbians still so energetic?On the contrary, it is the same as the eggplants that the male soldiers have beaten with all the frost.

Report: "There is another pull from the north, it seems to be Pan Zhuzi of Sanlian."

Except for Gao Yidao and Erlian, the independent regiment came to the ninth station, but it seemed that it would come sooner or later, and with the brother regiment, maybe the division headquarters would have to move here someday.

Fortunately, it was not the first time that he received so many comrades. Instructor Qin, who was also so tired that he almost collapsed, had to fight hard, and once again arranged for the troops of the third company to rest first.

The difference is that Pan Zhuzi didn't fall on Lao Qin's broken bed. If it were like that, it is estimated that the bed might be dead.

"Report, the company commander leads the team at the back, we run fast and walk in front, where is the commander?"

"Oh, the head of the regiment is outside the mountain, can you still leave?"

"Hey, I can walk, but the comrades may not be able to walk. What is the task, so urgent?"

"Then you'd better take a rest first, the comrades have driven such a long way in a row, and then you go up, it's no use, wait for the commander Wang to get up and say to you, hey, there are so many wounded soldiers, you wait first, I have to Go take a look."

I didn't tell Pan Zhuzi, but I didn't think about it. The three people said it too. One said it would have to be said again later. I don't know how much trouble it would take. Lao Qin himself was about to get tired and lay down. He also traveled a day and two nights, but fortunately, he grew stronger and could hold on.



The peaks and peaks are stacked, the green mountains are floating, and the scenery of the narrow valleys is like a hundred-mile gallery.The hazy distant mountains are shrouded in a layer of veil, and the shadows are indistinct. In the misty clouds and smoke, they are far and near, just like a few strokes of ink, smeared on the blue sky.

In the mountain stream, a team marched slowly, with one person at the head, two in the middle, and two soldiers with rifles on their backs.

All of them were in gray hats and gray military uniforms. The first and the last two men had torn their military uniforms with patches of different colors. The gray leggings and rags were covered in mud and wet with dew.

There are two people in the middle, one man and one woman, the man is Team Leader Zheng and the woman is Su Qing.

Team leader Zheng was in front, carrying a shell gun and holding a stick in his hand. There were many snakes in the mountains, and he had to beat the ground while walking. Su Qing was behind, his left hand was empty, and his right was leaning on a small but very Solid wood sticks.

There are not many people walking on this mountain road, and the ground is covered with grass.

More than ten days ago, one was the investigator and the other was the person under investigation, but now they have become friendly troops.

The two soldiers who followed behind were the soldiers who were responsible for the defense. Because they were basically on the way to the two regiments, the original plan was to arrange four soldiers to escort them, but they were changed to three, with rifles on their backs, and one with two grenades.

Going this way, Team Leader Zheng is not on the way. It takes almost three more days to go to the supplementary regiment and then go to Qingshan Village to Dabeizhuang. His idea is very simple. He needs to know more about the situation of the independent regiment.

Several people had sleepy expressions on their faces. They should have been on their way as soon as the day dawned, and they had walked for at least three or four hours.

It has only rained, and the mountain road is a little slippery. The group is not in the mood to appreciate the surrounding scenery. They stay in this mountain every day and see almost everything.

The rugged mountain path is uneven, and there is a cliff next to it. I dare not look at it. When I look at it, I feel hairy, and the group walks cautiously.

Even though the road is covered with weeds, the mud on the feet is still getting thicker and thicker. After walking a certain distance, you have to find a wider place to remove the mud with branches, leaving only two straw ropes tied to the shoes.

After walking for a while, the path finally became smooth and out of the dangerous area of ​​the narrow valley. From memory, there should be a small village ahead. A few people breathed a sigh of relief. After this part of the road, the rest will be fine Go a lot.

The village mountains are looming in the fog, the water in the kettle has long been empty, and the mountain springs on the roadside are everywhere. Su Qing has no habit of drinking raw water. Used to add a pot of hot water here.

The Eighth Route Army had a requirement not to drink raw water, although it was difficult to enforce.

The soldier walking in front stopped and made a gesture. The four people behind were stunned for a moment, and hurriedly drilled into the bushes.
