Chapter 14 Transferring the Masses
When Zhou Min, Xiaoxue, and the second battalion arrived at Xiqiao Village, they found that it was already a mess.
After hearing the news that the devils were coming to sweep up, the villagers of Xiqiao Village began to pack up their things and prepare to move to the mountains behind the base area.
The regiment commander only gave them two hours to transfer the masses, because the strength of only one battalion of the three battalions had to hold back the strength of the two brigades of the devils. If it takes more than two hours, the entire third battalion is in danger of being wiped out. But when Zhou Min looked at the villagers who were already in a mess, he found that the two hours were too tense, and the people in the village were scurrying around the streets like headless flies, some carrying baskets, some pushing carts, some carrying sacks, and some people actually led sheep, and the whole village was less light and strong, most of them were old people, women, and some immature children. And there are so many things on these people.
Zhou Min really can't understand these people, now they are fleeing, if they are late, they may even lose their lives, what is the use of holding pots and pans to lead sheep and pushing broken wooden carts?
"It's too late, we have to move right away. The second battalion commander said anxiously.
"There are still a lot of people in the village who haven't finished cleaning up, so why don't you transfer a batch first!" Xiaoxue said as she looked at the chaotic village.
"My life is gone, what's the use of those things outside my body?" she said angrily after Zhou Min saw that the other soldiers were trying to persuade the common people to no avail.
"Give me a gun, I'll tell them. Zhou Min suddenly said to the second battalion commander.
"Bang, bang" took the pistol handed over by the second battalion commander Zhou Min fired two shots into the sky, as soon as he heard the gunshot, the people put down their work and turned their heads to look at her, "Folks, the devil's army is coming soon, and now there is only one battalion of soldiers of the Eighth Route Army to block them." If we move slowly, that battalion of fighters will probably die. Folks, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army are all soldiers of the people, can you bear to see your sons die under the guns of the Japanese devils? And the reason why they died under the guns of the Japanese was because everyone did not transfer in time and were still cleaning up the bottles and cans at home. Please prepare the folks, we will set off immediately, we can buy again when things are gone, but people's lives are gone, nothing can be replaced, maybe you are only a minute slow here, but the soldiers on the front line may die alone. So please gather immediately and set off with us, we don't know what dangers we will encounter along the way, please bring what you must bring and transfer with us immediately. "
Tong Guò Zhou Min spoke hoarsely, and those numb people seemed to have heard something, and slowly gathered together to prepare to set off with the second battalion commander.
A gray torrent gradually moved forward, "I don't know what happened to the first battalion and the Qianqian Village?
Zhou Min thought to himself, the transfer of Qianqian Village must not be smooth, and if you look at the people of Xiqiao Village, you will know that the practices of these people are really angry. Seeing that they are all angry, but they are angry, they still have to help the people transfer, after all, what the Eighth Route Army eats and uses is provided by the people, and the biggest advantage of the Eighth Route Army is that it never brings logistics to fight, and every qiē is made of local materials. The local people will be very supportive, and I have to say that this is also the strength of the Eighth Route Army. No army in the past has been able to do this. Moreover, the military discipline of the Eighth Route Army is also surprisingly good, it can be said that it does not take a stitch from the masses, and it has three major disciplines and eight points of attention, so it can be said that the Eighth Route Army is a veritable teacher of benevolence and righteousness.
"Battalion commander, our speed is too slow, and it's not a way to go like this!" said the second battalion commander's guard anxiously.
Zhou Min glanced back at the team that was not walking fast, and he was also very anxious. Suddenly, she had an idea of a good way to get her team up to speed.
"Second Battalion Commander, I have a way to speed up the whole team. "
"Miss Zhou, what can you do?"
"Second battalion commander, you send a few soldiers to quietly go around the back of the team, and shoot more than fifty meters away from the team, so as not to be discovered. Then let some soldiers shout in the middle of the ranks, "Run, the devil is coming," so that the common people will speed up their pace as soon as they hear the gunshots, and we can rush to the back of the base area within two hours, saving time for the third battalion and reducing casualties. "
"Sister Zhou, isn't your method a bit of a problem. Xiaoxue didn't know what words to use to describe this method.
Zhou Min thought to himself that this method would be a bit of a loss, but it could indeed speed up the movement of the villagers, otherwise, if he moved at the current speed, he would be caught up by the devil sooner or later, and it would be too late for anything.
"Okay, just do as you say, guards, send a few soldiers, do what Miss Zhou said, quickly." "
"Bang, bang" Dense gunfire rang out not far from the ranks. 'Everyone, run, the devil is coming,' Zhou Min shouted first. "
As soon as the gunshots were heard, the speed at which the boss moved was noticeably faster. Just when Zhou Min was about to lose his run, they finally arrived at the back mountain of the base area.
After settling the villagers in Xiqiao Village, the second battalion commander said, "Miss Zhou, Xiaoxue, I will leave you two squads of soldiers to protect the villagers, and I will take the others to support the third battalion." ”
"Okay, second battalion commander, don't worry, Xiaoxue and I, and the soldiers will protect the villagers. ”
Finally out of danger, Zhou Min, who was relieved, felt that his lungs and throat were hot at this time, as if all the air had been pumped out. The legs are weak, and the nose is also flirtatious. Even though it's winter, I feel like the air I'm exhaling is hot.
"Sister Zhou, your body is really not good, you have only run such a long way, and you are so tired that you can't straighten your waist, you see that the uncles and aunts in the village are better than you. Seeing that everyone was safe, Xiaoxue actually joked with Zhou Min.
"Yes, Xiaoxue, you're right, my body is really not good, I should go out with the soldiers every morning in the morning to exercise, otherwise the next time I encounter a devil sweep, I won't be so good and run away." "
