my bright sword career

Chapter 237 Worry
It's starting to get dusk

A rough path can only accommodate two people walking side by side or a mule and horse. Due to the continuous snowfall for several days, the snow on this path has already covered people's ankles, not only will it creak when stepped on The creaking sound, even the walking speed is greatly affected.

At this moment, on this small road, there is a team wearing gray military uniforms that can't be seen at a glance. This team is the general headquarters of the Eighth Route Army that hastily evacuated.

In the middle of the team, the deputy commander-in-chief lowered his head and pondered something while walking along with the team. Beside him, the guard was leading the horse while watching him hesitate to speak.

After walking for a while, the deputy commander turned his head to look at the guards around him and said displeasedly, "You little brat, what are you doing looking at me like that? As I said, I don't need to ride a horse. This horse is reserved for the soldiers and soldiers who are behind. Let the wounded ride."

"Chief."

The guard wanted to persuade a few words, but was patted on the shoulder by a big hand, and the left deputy chief of staff smiled and waved to him: "Xiaoxiang, listen to the boss, let the wounded ride this horse, boss Now that I am in my prime, I don’t need to ride this thing.”

The deputy commander-in-chief looked up and glared at the left deputy chief of staff, "You don't need to provoke me, I won't take this either."

The left deputy chief of staff smiled and took out a box of Lucky cigarettes from his pocket, took out one and handed it to him: "Boss, smoke a cigarette first to relieve fatigue."

"Okay, you old Zuo, I asked you for cigarettes two days ago, and you said you didn't have any more. I didn't expect to have private goods hidden. You are not honest." The deputy commander saw the cigarette in the hands of Deputy Chief of Staff Zuo. Cigarette's eyes lit up, and he took the cigarette.

The left deputy chief of staff took out a lighter and lit it for him, and then lit one himself. He gave him a blank look, and said angrily: "I only have two boxes left. I don't know who you are. If I dare to take out Come out, I'm sure you'll be sucked out in less than a day."

The deputy commander chuckled, he also knew his faults, once he thought about the problem, he became very addicted to cigarettes, sometimes he couldn't stand two packs a day.The last time Gao Hongming gave him a box of cigarettes, even smoking them as a gift, they disappeared in less than two months, so he had to follow the cigarettes of the deputy chief of staff.

After smoking half a cigarette, seeing that the deputy commander-in-chief's mood improved a lot, the left deputy chief of staff asked, "Why, you're still worried about Li Yunlong."

The deputy commander sighed softly, "Although the equipment of the Independent Regiment is among the best in our Eighth Route Army, but this time he encountered the Kwantung Army, which is known as the trump card. The Tenth Division is not a good deal. This army is very fierce.

Whether it was the Battle of Taierzhuang, the Battle of Xuzhou, or the Battle of Wuhan, they all caused heavy damage to the national army. They were transferred to the Kwantung Army last year, but they were transferred back to the Guan.

But I wondered, why did he suddenly come to Shanxi when he was so good?And they went straight to our base? "

The left deputy chief of staff pondered for a while, "Boss, I think so. The real purpose of the Tenth Division's coming to Shanxi this time is actually not us, but someone else?"

"Someone else?"

The deputy commander-in-chief was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, he suddenly looked at the left deputy chief of staff, "Do you think the Tenth Division is here for this kid Gao Hongming?"

"Very likely." The left deputy chief of staff nodded, "Think about it, Gao Hongming and his Liantai militia, whether they were in Qixia Pass or Qingyuan River in Hebei, have caused heavy damage to the devils. Character Can they swallow this breath?
And according to the news sent by the comrades at the intelligence station a few days ago, the commander Gao has also formed an air force these days, and bombed the Taiyuan Airport of the devils a few days ago, destroying dozens of planes of the devils, you know Does this mean something? "

"Of course I know." The deputy commander-in-chief snorted coldly: "I'm afraid that Commander Gao has already registered at the Japanese base camp, right?"

"That's for sure." Deputy Chief of Staff Zuo said again: "I've heard that the Japanese have now offered a reward of 50 yuan to Gao Hongming, and this price is only a little lower than that of Lao Jiang who is far away in Chongqing. .”

"Hehe... I didn't realize that this kid's head is so valuable." The deputy commander laughed loudly.

After being interrupted by Deputy Chief of Staff Zuo, his mood improved a lot.

He thought for a while, "No...I'm still a little worried...the guard..."

"To!"

"Call the communications chief."

Soon, the communications chief ran up to him out of breath.

The deputy commander waved his hand, "Go...set up the radio station, contact Li Yunlong quickly...let him report the situation over there."

"Wait a moment."

The left deputy chief of staff quickly stopped the chief of the communications section, and said to the deputy commander: "Boss, the comrades in the intelligence section have already said that the reason why our headquarters exposed the target this time is probably because our radio stations are used too frequently. Only then was the devil staring at him.

Now the devil's radio detection must be staring at us, and we finally withdrew. Once we set up a radio to contact other troops, wouldn't we expose our target again? "

"Eh……"

The deputy commander sighed, with an angry and helpless expression on his face.

Why didn't he know this truth, but he was concerned about the safety of the independent regiment, so he couldn't help it.

Seeing the anxious look of the deputy commander-in-chief, the chief of the communication section comforted: "Chief, don't worry, I have already turned on the comrades. But we don't send telegrams, just concentrate on receiving telegrams. As soon as I have news, I will report to you immediately." report."

"That's the only way to go." The deputy commander said a little unwillingly.

As soon as he finished speaking, a correspondent trotted over from behind, with unconcealable joy on his face, and waving a piece of paper in his hand, "Chief...the independent group is calling."

"Oh... what did the independent group say?"

Hearing the call from the Independence Regiment, the deputy commander-in-chief and the left deputy chief of staff all cheered up.

"The Independent Regiment reported that they ambushed the [-]th Regiment of the [-]th Division of the Japanese Army in Xiaolongling this morning. As soon as the battle started, the [-]th Regiment launched a fierce attack on them under the cover of artillery fire.

Due to the hasty fighting of the independent regiment, there was no time to dig positions, so the losses were considerable.

Later, in order to reduce the casualties of the troops, Li Yunlong led the independent regiment to launch a counter-charge against the Tenth Wing. The two sides launched a large-scale hand-to-hand battle, and the battle was extremely fierce.

At the moment of crisis, Gao Hongming sent more than 30 planes to support after receiving Li Yunlong's call for help. He bombed the Tenth Wing and dropped a large number of aerial bombs and incendiary bombs. The Tenth Wing was caught off guard. The casualties were heavy.

After that, for almost the entire afternoon, the Tenth Wing did not have the energy to launch a large-scale attack. Judging from the current situation, it is not a big problem for our department to persist until dawn. "

Hearing this, the deputy commander-in-chief and the left deputy chief of staff looked at each other, and they both saw the expressions of shock and joy on each other's faces.
